When I was just a boy of ten My father met a miner's death Trapped inside through 20 nights No one made it out alive So there I was alone but free The master of my destiny And trouble found me right away My close companion since that day And I'm on the side of the road again I'm on the wrong side, my friend Whichever way the wind is blowing, no matter where the river bends I'm on the side of wrong again At 21 I fell in love To a girl of 16 years But a jealous father ran me down Left me in the road for dead So I decided there and then I'd find the car, I'd take revenge But the fire caught the house and fields I haven't slept a whole night since And I'm on the side of wrong again I'm on the wrong side, my friend Whichever way the wind is blowing, no matter where the river bends I'm on the side of wrong again I'm on the side of wrong again ♪ I ran three years and finally stopped Cut my hair and found a job Working in a road café Sleeping in the parking lot Late one night the store was robbed The owner dead, his boy was shot And I'm the only one he sold Now I'm waiting for the trap door to drop And I'm on the side of the road again I'm on the wrong side, my friend Whichever way the wind is blowing, no matter where the river bends I'm on the side alone again I'm on the side of wrong again I'm on the side of wrong again
