On the other side of the tracks, that is where I'm gonna be
On the other side of the great divide between fame and fortune and me
Gonna put my shadows behind me, give my inhibitions the axe
And tomorrow morning you'll find me on the other side of the tracks
On the other side of that line where the life is fancy and free
I'm gonna sit and fan on my fatty van while the butler bottles the tea
But for now I'm facing the fences and I can't afford to relax
While the whole club poodle commences on the other side of the tracks
So I'm off and running over the rail, I'm going gunning after the quail
Off and running, send me the mail to the great big world on the other side
The great big world on the other side, the great big world on the other side of the tracks
On the other side of the tracks, that is where I'm gonna be
On the other side of that great divide between fame and fortune and me
I'm gonna put my shadows behind me, give my inhibitions the axe
And tomorrow morning you'll find me on the other side of the tracks
On the other side of that line where the life is fancy and free
I'm gonna sit and fan on my fatty van while the butler bottles the tea
But for now I'm facing the fences and I can't afford to relax
While the whole club poodle commences on the other side of the tracks
So I'm off and running over the rail, I'm going gunning after the quail
Off and running, send me the mail to the great big world on the other side
The great big world on the other side, the great big world on the other side of the tracks
The other side, the other side, big old world on the other side of the tracks
Oh yeah
