Back To The Otherside

(album: Sweet Southern Sugar - 2017)

Yeah, listen up son

It ain't easy growing up
In the age of this life where it seems that love ain't enough
And not knowing gets tough
All the rage and the stride for your dreams could seem handcuffed
You feel bluffed by the masses
All these wanna be kings, wingdings, and jackasses
But time passes fast so keep your head up
Don't let go and know we all fuck up
Yeah, we all fuck up

So take my hand and I'll lead you back to the other side (to the other side)
Get yourself into a better place and live your life (yeah, yeah)
Hold your head up high and don't rely on anyone else (don't rely on anyone else)
Take it easier on yourself, don't ask why

It's a gift this life, but still pragmatic
With no static, it seems some are so dramatic
You could stretch your wits but still can't grab it
Misfits like us they say can't have it
But it's a lie so don't buy the bullshit
Don't get high and sigh "I can't deal with it"
This pain will make you a better man
And if you hold on son, one day you'll understand
One day you'll understand
Come on

So take my hand and I'll lead you back to the other side (to the other side)
Get yourself into a better place and live your life (got to, got to live your life, come on)
Hold your head up high and don't rely on anyone else
Take it easier on yourself, don't ask why (don't even ask why)

It's an easy way out son, so don't do it
Just take my hand, be a man and let's get through it
I know you feel like it ain't worth trying
But whatever it is, trust this, it ain't worth dying
And you will find with time no matter what it is
The sun shines, defines, and stay positive
And keep giving all you've got to give
Cause God is great and he always forgives
Yeah God is great and he always forgives

So take my hand and I'll lead you back to the other side (to the other side)
Get yourself into a better place and live your life (get yourself into a better place)
Hold your head up high and don't rely on anyone else (anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone else)
Take it easier on yourself, don't ask why
So take my hand and I'll lead you back to the other side
Get yourself into a better place and live your life
Hold your head up high and don't rely on anyone else
Take it easier on yourself, don't ask why
