Well nobody can reach me

With my head in the clouds

I know I’ll be somebody

No matter how hard they try to pull me back down

Saying you were born on the wrong side of town

Born on the wrong side of town

So quit your daydreaming for crying out loud

You were born on the wrong side of town

And so I’ll pack up my suitcase

And go sing for the crowds

And I hope fortune will find me

So I don’t get lost before I am found

‘Cause when you’re born on the wrong side of town

Born on the wrong side of town

You can leave if you want to but there’s no getting out

When you’re born on the wrong side of town

And now somewhere behind me

I hear them whistle and shout

They’ll go and tell everybody

He grew up right here and we are so proud

Oh, when you’re far from the wrong side of town

Far from the wrong side of town

They’ll cheer when you’ve made it and say they had no doubt

When you’re far from the wrong side of

Wrong side of town

When you’re born on the wrong side of

Where are they now?

You were born on the wrong side of tow
