John Paciga - Other Side of Town Lyrics

Everybody's watching you now
Decisions to make, people to please
They roll their eyes and shake their heads you wish that you knew how
To satisfy their hunger on days like these
When sweet relief tells you that you gotta wait
Days like these when you gotta escape
To the other side of town
Who knows what's waiting just around
These lonely street corners

"What schools have you been looking at? How are your grades?
Are you gonna get a job? What do you want to do?"
Well ask me 'bout ambition 'cause I've got it in spades
But don't think that I've got a plan to make it come true
We don't have to be stuck here for eternity
Yeah I've heard that the streets are paved with endless opportunity
On the other side of town
Who knows what waiting just around
These lonely street corners

I know I know we'll make it someday
Let go let go 'cause we'll be okay
I know we'll make it someday
Let go 'cause we'll be okay

Oh just give me a ship because I'm my own captain
I'm not a miracle worker but I still know they can happen
On the other side of town
Where hope forgotten can be found
Yeah we can make it happen on the other side of town
Who knows what's waiting just around
These lonely street corners
