This Side of Town - lyrics

2 Corinthians 5:17

Driving away as I'm looking back
To the other side of the tracks
There is not one tear to cry
As I say goodbye to the lies
I've always lived with dirty floors
I'm looking for something more
And this side of town
Has so much new in store
Cause the place I used to hang my hat
Treated me no better than a welcome mat
It looked so good through all the haze
'Till the lights went blank, in a couple days
The darkness had stolen my direction
I was starving for a connection
I had to get up and go
I had to goin' gone get away!
So red rover, red rover then Christ came on over
I got a brand new address permanently
I got those moving trucks rolling
No doubt I was knowing
Once I'd signed the deed, totally agreed
This is where I need to be

On this side of town
A brand new life swingin' my way
On this side of town
My mansion is built and it's fully paid
The grass is greener the air is cleaner
My soul's found refuge
So he, I'm here to stay
No more moving around
Saving grace I've found
On this side of town

So you think there is a better way
To live your life each and every day?
It'll take the road less traveled by
To find a new side to your life
The narrow road will guide you
With Christ walking beside you
No other destination is so true
So swing on over and hit the scene
Find a happy ending to your dreams
Cause once you're here you;'ll begin to see
You'll never, ever want to lave
You're one road away from change
With a Savior writing down your name
I guarantee you'll never be the same
So red rover, red rover, let Chrst come on over
Get a brand new address permanently
Get those moving trucks rolling
No doubt you'll be knowing
Once you've signed the deed, and totally agreed
This is where you need to be

On this side of town
A brand new life swingin' your way
On this side of town
Your mansion is built and it's fully paid
The grass is greener, the air is cleaner
Your soul will find refuge
'Til hey, you're here to stay
No more moving around
Saving grace you've found
On this side of town!
