Kelly Pardekooper - West Side Lyrics

I come from the west side of this sleepy little town With a river in the middle and the water comes down brown Now I live on the east side, it’s not so different at all The houses tend to be older here, and mine’s a little small But I got my garden on my little bit of land With the cabbage and the rhubarb coming up through my two hands And now a days I’m working more, I don’t get downtown as much Tends to makes me feel older than I am and a little bit out of touch They put so many parking lots where the old buildings used to be It’s not the image that I carry from my days of being footloose and fancy free I know I’m complaining but I always love to get back home Having coffee with my parents in the morning is the stuff that fuels my soul Cause they brought me to the west side of this sleepy little town With the river in the middle and the water comes down brown
