[Verse 1] I grew up on cracked linoleum floors Momma said “baby, lock both doors” Blood in the sink, bike chain sing Learned real quick what trouble brings Old TV glow, ashtray prayers Dogs on the block, hard luck stares I took my bruise and made it mine Turned bad days into a gold tooth shine [Pre-Chorus] Now I walk that line With a grin too sharp Whole town talk But they don’t know my heart I been down so long I know every scar Count my losses slow Then I raise the bar [Chorus] The far side, the far side That’s where I live The far side, the far side Got more to give Wild life, hard nights Still I ride The far side, the far side On the far side (far side) [Verse 2] Seen a man lose faith by the pawn shop door Seen a queen sell dreams for a little more Backseat deals and a jukebox lie Moon on the hood and a red-eyed sky I keep my hands clean, my mind mean Pocket full of dust, heart full of steam If the world wants smoke, then I bring flame But I still say grace when I say my name [Pre-Chorus] Now I walk that line With a grin too sharp Whole town talk But they don’t know my heart I been down so long I know every scar Count my losses slow Then I raise the bar [Chorus] The far side, the far side That’s where I live The far side, the far side Got more to give Wild life, hard nights Still I ride The far side, the far side On the far side (far side) [Bridge] I’m not lost, I’m just changed Same blood, different frame If you call me rough I call that staying When the room goes cold I still walk in flame One foot in the chaos One in my name [Chorus] The far side, the far side That’s where I live The far side, the far side Got more to give Wild life, hard nights Still I ride The far side, the far side On the far side (far side)
