Martin Zellar was the honky tonk-inspired frontman for the country-rock group Gear Daddies. When that band broke up in 1992, he began playing solo gigs around the Geardaddies' old base, Minneapolis. With bassist Nick Ciola, organist Jon Duncan, guitarist Adam Levy and drummer Noah Levy, Zellar released his solo debut, Born Under, in late 1994.

[Verse]
D G
They grew up on the side of town Where the Christmas lights hung all year 'round
D
And the sidewalks went un-shoveled
G
And the dogs barked all night long
D
They were skinny and they were mean
G
Had parents that were never seen
D
Their hair was always longer
G
Their shirts were always tight
[Chorus]
A
And we knew we'd never get to know 'em
D
And we knew we'd never try
A
Those East Side Boys seemed further from us
G D G D G
Than any star that hung up in the sky
[Verse]
D
Those East Side Boys never seemed to eat
G
They just smoked cigarettes across the street
D
Stared down at the sidewalks
G
Came to classes late
D
On conference days it was always the same
G
Those east side parents never came
D
Never read their stories
G
Saw their artwork on the walls
[Chorus]
A
Once we'd hit the high school
G
Around grade nine or ten
A
One by one they'd disappear
G D G D G
And we'd never see those East Side boys again

They grew up on the side of town Where the Christmas lights hung all year 'round
D
And the sidewalks went un-shoveled
G
And the dogs barked all night long
D
No one seemed to know their names
G
They didn't go to Prom or football games
D G
Just wandered through the hallways Like inmates doin' time
[Chorus]
A
And we knew we'd never get to know 'em
G
And we knew we'd never try
A
Those East Side Boys seemed further from us
G D G D G
Than any star that hung up in the sky
