Lyrics

“Sorry Side”
Album – Broken Ties

Johnny and me grew up on the sorry side of town.
Two strays making trouble all around.
He and I were young and crazy—not a care in the world.
So much we didn’t know would unfurl.

Sometimes I think of Mama yelling out the door
To avoid the rain and her clean floor.
Johnny’s grin was worth the whipping we knew was sure to come
When our dirty feet revealed where we came from.

Bridge:
We shared each other’s memories like ornery babies do,
But then Johnny left me—what for, I never knew.

Chorus:
I want you to know that though you’ve gone
There is a place for you to all on.
If trouble every frays your mind,
I want you to know, Johnny, I’ll be kind.
Mmm

Break

The sorry part of town
Taught me how to wear a frown.
Johnny never could abide that side of me.
He saw a smile no one else could see.

Break

My friend, where have you gone.
You stay with me like a song.
Not close enough to touch, but always there.
What will I do without the time we shared?

Bridge:
I held all our memories like ornery babies do.
Johnny, why’d you leave me?
I would’ve followed you.

Chorus:
I want you to know that though you’ve gone
There is a place for you to fall on.
If trouble ever frays your mind,
I want you to know, Johnny, I’ll be kind.
Mmmm
