Train Tracks

[Chorus: Jelly Roll] Living low class, we just white trash We got broke glass and they got green grass Across them train tracks, across them train tracks We try so hard, but we do so bad We could go so far, but we can't look past Them goddamn train tracks, I hate those train tracks [Verse 1: Jelly Roll] I remember rockin' tall tees and baggy jeans Remember staying up late and just bagging weed And at a younger age, I was unafraid Remember mom and me kickin' it on a summer day Sometimes the world got so cold, I wanna run away I know this world gets crueler than the hunger games Crashed on couches and slept on floors And I always had a crush on the girl next door But to tell y'all the truth, I never tried to holla though Hid my lack of self confidence behind a lot of jokes Thought I'd never make it out my situation I was bound by so many stipulations [Chorus: Jelly Roll] Living low class, we just white trash We got broke glass and they got green grass Across them train tracks, across them train tracks We try so hard, but we do so bad We could go so far, but we can't look past Them goddamn train tracks, I hate those train tracks [Verse 2: Jelly Roll] Life got hard, but we just came harder Spent some time in the gutter like the rain water A lost soul, I was born to ramble Woke up one day, my life was in shambles Ain't afraid to gamble, put it all on the line This neighbourhood ain't shit, but I'm calling it mine Rent man callin' trippin' on the rent Got a baby on the way with a chick that I ain't with And my momma needs some pain pills, she says she's feelin' pain I gotta hustle y'all, I don't know no other way On these train tracks, staring at the other side I'll make it over then one day, that's on my mother's life [Chorus: Jelly Roll] Living low class, we just white trash We got broke glass and they got green grass Across them train tracks, across them train tracks We try so hard, but we do so bad We could go so far, but we can't look past Them goddamn train tracks, I hate those train tracks [Verse 3: Struggle] Between a rock and a hard place I'm bond with a court case The bills at the house, way past due, ankle bracelet with a curfew Water cut off, daughter need to use the bathroom, what can I do? Goddamn, the lawyer want ten racks Whistle blowin' and I'm standing on the train tracks How long the line? Just a matter of time before the chickens come home and the eggs hatch Got 'em all in one basket underneath the bed with a banger and a ski mask 'cause I'm ready Grass look greener over there, so I pull in his yard and park the chevy I'm here now [Bridge] So hard, so bad, so far to look past The train tracks, I hate those train tracks So hard, so bad, so far to look past The train tracks, ooh (Train tracks) [Chorus: Jelly Roll] Living low class, we just white trash We got broke glass and they got green grass Across them train tracks, across them train tracks We try so hard, but we do so bad We could go so far, but we can't look past Them goddamn train tracks, I hate those train tracks
