Well the uptown chicks, they judge her By her old clothes and her shoes You can tell she's had a hard life You can tell that's nothin' new But she holds her head up high Even when she's got the blues Above her heart of gold The ink reads nothin' to lose Well she moves so free and easy Like an old-time movie star All eyes are upon her No matter where we are Then she wraps her arms around me And she whispers in my ear Tonight we're gonna ride away A million miles from here From the wrong side of the tracks From the bad side of the town That's where she grew up That's why some girls put her down But when she crosses over And meets me late at night The girl from the wrong side of the tracks Makes this whole world seem all right Makes this whole world seem all right In a rough and tumble world she grew up fast Her hopes and dreams just shattered like glass Right from the start we never had a chance Looking for love in a forbidden romance Year after year, it's the same old story You gotta fight for love, you gotta fight for glory When she leaves tonight, I'll ask her If and when we'll meet again I look into her eyes And I know the answer then But she slowly turns away And the tears I cannot fight The girl from the wrong side of the tracks Disappears into the night From the wrong side of the tracks From the bad side of the town That's where she grew up That's why some girls put her down But when she crosses over And meets me late at night The girl from the wrong side of the tracks Makes this whole world seem all right The girl from the wrong side of the tracks Makes this whole world seem all right Makes this whole world seem all right
