The world’s passing by

No one’s gonna try

It ain’t easy 

Living in wayside

All the glitter

See how she shines

A rhinestoney rodeo queen

You were standing inside

Her mirror ball tide

It ain’t easy

Living in wayside

All her circles

Swirling around you

Halos and rose gabardine

No words for your song

You just sing along

In the shadow of the rodeo queen

The world passed you by

Took everyone for a ride

You were standing outside

No matter how you tried

It ain’t easy 

Living in wayside
