Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me   Just as much as I love her   We are unified still crucified   Just because we live across the tracks, yeah      White or black, day or night   What's the difference when you've hurt someone?   You can walk tall, you can act small   Any fool can fire a gun      Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me   Just as much as I love her   We are unified still crucified   Just because we live across the tracks, yeah alright yeah      So we slip away and pretend to play   And it said how families make you run   If my daddy ever caught me kissing her   I believe he would shoot his son      But we're growin' up and there'll come a day   When the real world makes us run away   Now we live in shame and play their silly game   Soon we'll be gone and I don't have to say, yeah      Across the tracks there's a girl who loves me   Just as much as I love her   We are unified still we're crucified   Just because we live across the tracks, yeah      Across the tracks, across the tracks   We won't stand forever across the tracks   Across the tracks, across the tracks, oh
