[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
