Song Description

Grateful for what I have--I've seen the other side

Lyrics

The Other Side

I've been on the other side
And I won't be lying
It's better over here
Especially when you're trying

And I don't advertise
That I have enough to eat
Or that I'm walking through my life now
With new shoes on my feet

I've got new shoes now,
and a fancy dress
That I bought on loan from
A thrift store address
But I've been trying hard
Just to make it work
And it feels so right
Let's go dancing tonight

We can hang outside under the silver moon
And play the radio and get our favorite tunes

We can rock and roll, we can sing some soul
And dance and swing, we can do our thing
Under the stars tonight, and the bright moonlight

It's the simple things
That money doesn't buy
But even with new Shoes on my feet
I'm still asking why
Because I've been there before
On the other side

We can rock and roll, we can sing some soul
And dance and swing, we can do our thing
Under the stars tonight, and the bright moonlight
Because I've been there before
On the other side (under the moonlight)
I've been there before--on the other side
