This is another song that appears on the compilation album. No Previous Record. This version was taken from one of the WRIU tapes that Cheryl had.
Cheryl was asked once why she didn't live in the midwest, and her response was that she didn't like being in the middle. This song goes through several ways in which Cheryl likes being "on the end", with one side free.
- One Side Free

- Cheryl Wheeler
- Keep me on an open side
- Not too close and not too tight.
- And if I swear that I love you
- Don't believe a word is true
- I am living on the coast
- 'cause it's the edges I like most
- I don't know, it's just my style
- Always sitting on the aisle
- And keepin' one side free
- It's just a thing ingrained in me
- An open window by my head
- And always one foot out of bed
- If I tried to be for you
- Everything you want me to
- It would end our fantasy
- And I'd leave you or you'd leave me
- With a constant open side
- Isn't something else denied?
- If you asked I'd have to say
- I'm not certain either way
