The Kid Could Play Songtext
von Seventh Key

Slippin′ 'round town, it was late on a Saturday night
Music blastin′ down the alleyway, out into the neon sky
Well, the kid was rockin', a gold top in his hand
Got the place goin' crazy, movin′ to the music of the band
Oh, such promise lay in waiting
All his life anticipating
Playin′ music was his one desire
All he wants to do is set the night on fire
Livin' that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play
Everybody knew the magic goin′ on down there
Linin' up every night, pay the price to get their share
Word spreadin′ 'round town like a wildfire out of control
And the kid playin′ music, comin' from the bottom of his soul
Oh, but promises were broken
And goodbyes were left unspoken
Playin' music was his one desire
All he wants to do is set the night on fire
Livin′ that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play


In the center of the bright spotlight
Playin′ his heart out every night
Livin' that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play
Oh-oh, the kid could play, yeah
Loss of innocence that drove him to the fringe
A final act of desperation in the end
And I can still hear music born upon the wind
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Playin′ music was his one desire
All he wants to do is set the night on fire
Livin' that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play
In the center of the bright spotlight
Playin′ his heart out every night
Livin' this dream out in every way
Everybody knew that the kid could play
Oh-oh, the kid could play
The kid could play
The kid could play
Oh-oh, the kid could play
The kid could play
The kid could play
The kid could play
Oh-oh, the kid could play
The kid could play
The kid could play
The kid could play
The kid could play
