Most of the freaks who call me 'bro'
Are some of the finest folks I know
They take in my orphan heart
And show me their wicked ways

Come on sit a spell
Dear hot-headed fool
Rest your bones a while
Where the best folks do

Here on the shadyside, everything's cool

Most of the places you call low
I see the faces smile and glow
They take in my orphan heart
They show me their wicked ways

Come on sit a spell
Dear hot-headed fool
Rest your bones a while
Where the best folks do

Here on the shadyside, everything's cool
Here on the shadyside
Here on the shadyside
Uh huh
The kind that you don't want to know
Maybe the kind you need to make your garden grow
Give them your orphan heart
They'll show you their wicked ways

Come on sit a spell
Dear hot-headed fool
Rest your bones a while
Where the best folks do

Here on the shadyside, everything's cool

Come on sit a spell
Dear hot-headed fool
Rest your bones a while
Where the best folks do

Here on the shadyside, everything's cool
Here on the shadyside
Here on the shadyside
Ooh
