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
