VCR Kid

In my grandad's attic There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes And there's a kid who looks kinda like I did Before I made all my mistakes Before those dark nights And hard fights that he won't win Before those heartbreaks, mistakes That'll haunt him 'til the end If you just keep on climbin', keep on fightin' 'Til you reach that mountain ridge I bet you a dollar when you look down in that holler You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid This beautiful world that we're livin' in I'd give all I have just to get it again Without all the pain Without all the things I've done And the lines on my face are startin' to tell Stories of the past that I know so well The things that I'm ashamed of That I've done along the way All of those hard nights Long fights that he won't win Those heartaches, mistakes That'll haunt you 'til the end If you just keep on climbin' and keep on fightin' 'Til you reach that mountain ridge I bet you a dollar when you look down in that holler You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid In my grandad's attic There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes
