Wrong Side of Town [Intro] Ain’t much happening uptown Funny how the night wakes up When the sun goes down [Verse 1] Eleven fifteen, got a quarter tank Couple old friends and a full gas tank Little corner store with the buzzing sign Everybody out front killing time Got a dent in the door, got dust on the dash Got a few good stories that we tell too fast Somebody’s cousin got a backyard band Somebody’s brother’s got a half-baked plan Ain’t on the list, ain’t on the map But the best damn nights don’t work like that [Pre-Chorus] Take that turn where the streetlights thin If you know, you know where the night begins [Chorus] Everything’s better on the wrong side of town Windows rolled back, got the whole crew out No velvet rope, no cover charge Just a little too loud in a little too small yard Got Texas in our blood, got dirt on our names Got one more stop and a dozen bad games If you’re looking for perfect, you won’t find it around But the night’s wide open on the wrong side of town [Verse 2] There’s a two-step happening next to a shop A lowrider creeping while the bass don’t stop Steel-toe boots on a cracked concrete floor Somebody’s auntie dancing by the screen door Old heads posted up telling tall tales Young guns learning how the real world fails Everybody’s got a hustle, everybody’s got a past And the ones who say they’re leaving never leave that fast You can keep your skyline, your rooftop view Give me that porch light shining on the avenue [Pre-Chorus] Take that turn where the streetlights thin Some of the best folks never got invited in [Chorus] Everything’s better on the wrong side of town Windows rolled back, got the whole crew out No velvet rope, no cover charge Just a little too loud in a little too small yard Got Texas in our blood, got dirt on our names Got one more stop and a dozen bad games If you’re looking for perfect, you won’t find it around But the night’s wide open on the wrong side of town [Bridge] Might get lost, might get home at two Might wake up laughing at what we got into Might spend next Friday paying for tonight Still be first in line when they turn on the lights There’s gold in a place they don’t put on a sign There’s a whole lot of living past the county line They can call it the wrong place, call it the wrong crowd Funny how the whole damn world feels right out here now [Final Chorus] Everything’s better on the wrong side of town Windows rolled back, let the night wind howl No velvet rope, no perfect plans Just a little Texas dirt on a good friend’s hands Got Texas in our blood, got miles to burn Got a few wrong roads and a lot left to learn If you’re looking for perfect, turn yourself around We’re making our own kind of heaven On the wrong side of town [Outro] Two in the morning, still riding around Ain’t ready to go home Wrong side of town
