Back Street Kid |
He had eyes of the poor, wild and hungry |
Stood out side of the store, shy and clumsy |
Saw an electric guitar, he got hooked from the start |
That’s what is did to the back street kid |
It’s a dangerous game, might come to nothing |
Very hard to explain, the pushing and the shoving |
Still the sound in his ears and the many lean years |
Taught him to live, back street kid |
Dream, dream — back street kid |
Dream, dream, dream, dream — back street kid |
He spends hours on his own, he’s still learning |
Learns to wait for the phone, ideas burning |
And from liberty hall, he will rise or he’ll fall |
That’s how he’ll live, the back street kid |
Dream, dream — back street kid |
Dream, dream, dream, dream — back street kid |
He stepped into the rain, cold and empty |
Whispered never again, I’m not contented |
Walked off into the night, he walked far out of sight |
So much to give, the back street kid |
Dream, dream — back street kid |
Dream, dream, dream, dream — back street kid |
