Through The Madness Vol. 1

The Other Side (feat. Lori McKenna)

Good Ol' Boys with Bad Names

Bail Bondsman

Back in ’93 I walked the streets of Macon,
Stayed with a kind old family, they called me their own.
Had a chance to stay, workin’ nights in that hospital,
[ bridge]
Dreamin’ of a future far away from home.

[Chorus]
But I packed my bags and I took that flight,
Chose the road that led me back to my life.
Could’ve played some songs down on a southern stage,
[ bridge]
Maybe crossed paths with Jason someday.
Macon’s still a memory, it never fades,
It’s written in my heart, in the songs I play.

[Verse 2]
They offered me a green card, a brand-new beginning,
Said they’d stand beside me, help me find my way.
[ bridge]
But the call of my homeland was stronger than the promise,
[ bridge]
So I left Georgia skies for the break of a Slovak day.

[Chorus]
Yeah, I packed my bags and I took that flight,
Chose the road that led me back to my life.
Could’ve played some songs down on a southern stage,
Maybe crossed paths with Jason someday.
Macon’s still a memory, it never fades,
It’s written in my heart, in the songs I play.

[ instrumental intermezzo ]

[Bridge]
Now I wonder what might’ve been,
If I’d stayed in that town back then.
But the music finds its way,
No matter where you stand.

[Final Chorus]
So I packed my bags but I kept that light,
Macon’s spirit still burns in my mind.
Could’ve played some songs down on a southern stage,
Maybe crossed paths with Jason someday.
[ bridge]
Macon’s still a memory, it never fades,
It’s written in my heart, in the songs I play.

Jason, my friend from Macon
