Come Across the Tracks

This is how we’ve always done it
Son, can’t you see?
The west side is for people like you
The east for folks like me

Man, I’m tired of that same old thinking
That ain’t rock’n’ roll
Ain't it time we crossed that old line?
Get speaking soul to soul

So I'll bring out my bass guitar
You bring out your sax
Come across the tracks

So much for superstition
This won’t break your mother’s back
Come across the tracks

We got these songs and stories
That we share together
I believe that if we do this right
They’ll be a joy forever

We got this chemistry
That no one can keep down
I feel it in our friendship
I see it for this town

We’ve come way to far
To think of turning back
Come across the tracks

Yeah, you bring out your bass guitar
And I’ll bring out my sax
Come across the tracks

These days we’re playing stadiums
All over the earth
Giving three generations of fans
Their money’s worth

Now I’m laughing to myself
And thinking, hey, this is cool
How it all began with one single jam
When we blew off those old rules

When we’re filled with music
There is nothing that we lack
Come across the tracks

When we play together
We are more than white and Black
Come across the tracks
Come across the tracks
Come across the tracks
