Steel Blossoms - County Line Lyrics

Verse 1:
On the south side of the county line
Somebody's poor, somebody's dyin'
The boss don't pay, the sun don't shine
On the south side of the county line

Another store on main just failed
And the Johnson boys can't make bail
Grandma bows her head to pray
They won't end up like their dad someday

Chorus:
It don't matter where you started
You can end up broken hearted
Families stuck in welfare lines
Ain't a drug that they aint tryin'
On the south side of the county line

Verse 2:
On the north side of the county line
Somebody's rich, somebody's lyin'
If there's bad news, it's hard to find
On the north side of the county line

The family name's gone straight to hell
But their football teams the holy grail
Two DUI's for Liz this year
But her daddy made them disappear

Chorus:
It don't matter where you started
You can end up broken hearted
Secrets hid by dollar signs
Take a xanax with your wine
On the north side of the county line


Chorus:
How I'd love to change the story
Of all the ones who came before me
So many souls on borrowed time
Faith is strong and hope is dying
On both sides of the county line
