Hey Kid

Hey, kid, I'm sorry 'bout the way it might go

Heartbreak down every road

Fool's gold 'round every turn

And all the pages waitin' for you to burn

Hey, kid, if I could do it over again

I'd try to change the way that it went

Save you from all of the pain

And every bad link holding the chain

Hey, kid, I know you didn't ask for this

On your ten-year birthday candle wish

Innocent nights and that sugar high

From a slice of that American Pie

Hey, kid, I know you didn't ask for this

But if you hang on tight, you might get your wish

Travel the world, meet a girl, make a home

And have a love that you call your own

Hey, kid

Hey, kid

Hey, kid

Hey, kid

It's alright, I promise if you follow your tracks

It'll make sense when you can look back

And see how they took you and shook you

The world might crack, yeah, but you're gonna get through

Hey, kid, I know you didn't ask for this

But you were young and wild with nobody to miss

Innocent nights and that sugar high

From a slice of that American Pie

Hey, kid, I know you didn't ask for this

But if you hang on tight, you might get your wish

Travel the world, meet a girl, make a home

And have a love that you call your own

Hey, kid

Hey, kid

Hey, kid

Hey, kid

Hey, kid, when we get that old radio to play

It'll take you away from this place

You're gonna be alright some day

You gonna be alright

Hey, kid, I know you didn't ask for this

Young and wild with nobody to miss

Innocent nights and that sugar high

Slice of that American Pie (American Pie)

Hey, kid, I know you didn't ask for this

But if you hang on tight, you might get your wish (get your wish)

Travel the world, meet a girl, make a home (home)

And have a love that you call your own (a love that you call your own)

Hey, kid

Hey, kid (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Hey, kid

Hey, kid (oh yeah, yeah, yeah)

Hey, kid, we get that old radio to play

It'll take you away from this place

You're gonna be alright some day

You're gonna be alright
