Other Side
Wynonna Judd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The end of your rope
You just can't fix
Everything that's broke
Got to turn it loose, babe
Hey, just let it ride
'Cause it ain't about pride now
You've just come to a bridge that you
Still ain't built
Sit down here with me
I'll tell you about the other side
(The other side) the other side of loneliness (the other side)
The other side of the blues
There really is a place like this
Where the sun is gonna shine for you
(The other side) where you'll feel that old restlessness (the other side)
Your tears have all been cried
You'll find your way over this
And you'll make it to the other side
To the other side
Well, life gets hard, now
Life gets cold
No matter who you are, gonna
Settle on your soul
There comes a time
When you're looking for a place to hide
Ha-ha, but one of these days, you're gonna
Lift up your head now
Whistle up those hell hounds of yours and make them sit up and beg
That's when you're ready
You're ready for the other side
(The other side) the other side of loneliness (the other side)
The other side of the blues
There really is a place like this
Where the sun is gonna shine for you
(The other side) where you'll feel that old restlessness (the other side)
Your tears have all been cried
You'll find your way over this
And you'll make it to the other side
Hey, hey, hey
(The other side) the other side
(The other side)
To the other side
(The other side) the other side of loneliness
The other side of the blues (the other side)
To the other side
