Hey Kid Lyrics by Matt Willis

Don’t Let It Go to Waste

2006

Lyin' here, arm around my girl
I turn on the radio
A shame we had to bail
You know we put on quite a show
What'm I gonna do?
I left on my answer phone
Till then, what I told you -
Right now, I just don't know
And I said
Hey! Kid!
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along trying to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!
Every day will break
But another comes along
You won't have long to wait
And you've always got that song
It's funny when you're drunk (funny when you're drunk!)
How everything is clear
Come check out my bunk
And get the rock right out of here
And I said
Hey! Kid!
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!
Feelin' so much better in this frame of mind
'Cause I've been sick thinking it over all the difficult times
And I know (and you know) I'm a capable guy
I got so many things I wanted to do
And I got the chance to prove it to you!
Hey, on my own cause i waited my life and i'm ready to blow
When I do something I gotta win
I'm ready to start all over again
An I need some patience from you
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
Don't think you gotta try and be somebody, yeah!
It happens on its own
I said it's all right
Hey! (Hey!) Kid! (Kid!)
You don't get along tryin' to be nobody else
It's god-damned right, you know!
