Lyrics

On Your Side

Words and Music by Karl Obermeyer

Used to argue about where’d we go
If we ever got out of here
You said New York, I said California

Used to travel on a wing and a prayer
Used to put ourselves in harm’s way
Just to see, see if we could get along

But you’re always running out of time
Your world never seems to be in line
When no one’s on your side
I’ll be tonight
I will be tonight

So, I moved to the West Coast
Saw the stars and the lost hopes
But no, no, it never changed my mind

And I heard you got pregnant
By a boy from Kansas
He left, even though you lost the child

But you’re always running out of time
Your world never seems to be in line
Well, someone’s on your side
I’ll be tonight
I will be tonight

But you’re always running out of time
Your world never seems to be in line
Well, someone’s on your side
I’ll be
I’ll be
I’ll be tonight

I will be tonight
I will be tonight
I will be tonight
