[Lyric] The Kid Could Play (Seventh Key)

[Verse 1]
Slippin' round town
It was late on a Saturday night
He's just passin' down the alley way
Out into the neon sky
Well the kid was rockin'
With that gold top in his hand
Got the place goin' crazy
Moving to the music of the band

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh such promise lay in waiting
All his life anticipating

[Chorus]
Playing music was his one desire
All he wants to do is set the night on fire
Living that dream out every day
And everybody knew that the kid could play

[Verse 2]
Everybody knew the magic going on down there
Lining up every night
Paying the price to get their share
Word spreadin' round town
Like a wildfirе out of control
Had the kid playing music
Coming from the bottom of his soul
[Pre-Chorus]
Although promises wеre broken
And goodbyes were left unspoken

[Chorus]
Playing music was his one desire
All he wants to do is set the night on fire
Living that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play (kid could play)

In the center of the bright spotlights
Playing his heart out every night
Living that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play

Oh, whoa, the kid could play, yeah

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
Playing music was his one desire
All he wants to do is set the night on fire
Living that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play (kid could play)
In the center of the bright spotlights
Playing his heart out every night
Living his dream out in every way
Everybody knew that the kid could play

Oh, whoa, the kid could play, yeah (the kid could play)
The kid could play
Oh, whoa, the kid could play, yeah (the kid could play)
The kid could play
The kid could play
Oh, whoa, the kid could play, yeah (the kid could play)
The kid could play
The kid could play
The kid could play
