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
