The Kid Could Play
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' with that gold top in his hands
Got the place goin' crazy
Moving 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
Lining up every night
Pay the price to get their share
Word spreadin' round town
Like wildfire out of control
Had the kid playing music
Coming 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
The kid could play
In the center of the bright spot light
Playing his heart out every night
Living that dream out every day
Everybody knew that the kid could play
Oh, the kid could play
A loss of innocence that drove him to the fringe
A final act of desperation in the end
And I can still hear music borne upon the wind
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
The kid could play
In the center of the bright spot light
Playing his heart out every night
Living his dream out in every way
Everybody knew that the kid could play
The kid could play
Oh, the kid could play
O Garoto Sabia Tocar
Rodando pela cidade, já era tarde de sábado à noite
A música estourando na viela, sob o céu de neon
Bem, o garoto estava arrasando com aquele violão na mão
Fazendo a galera pirar
Movendo-se ao som da banda
Oh, tanta promessa esperando
Toda a vida antecipando
Tocar música era seu único desejo
Tudo que ele queria era incendiar a noite
Vivendo esse sonho todo dia
Todo mundo sabia que o garoto sabia tocar
Todo mundo conhecia a mágica rolando lá embaixo
Fazendo fila toda noite
Pagando o preço pra ter sua parte
A notícia se espalhando pela cidade
Como fogo selvagem fora de controle
Fazia o garoto tocar música
Vindo do fundo da sua alma
Oh, mas promessas foram quebradas
E despedidas ficaram sem palavras
Tocar música era seu único desejo
Tudo que ele queria era incendiar a noite
Vivendo esse sonho todo dia
Todo mundo sabia que o garoto sabia tocar
O garoto sabia tocar
No centro do holofote brilhante
Dando tudo de si toda noite
Vivendo esse sonho todo dia
Todo mundo sabia que o garoto sabia tocar
Oh, o garoto sabia tocar
Uma perda de inocência que o levou à margem
Um ato final de desespero no fim
E eu ainda consigo ouvir a música soprando pelo vento
Tocar música era seu único desejo
Tudo que ele queria era incendiar a noite
Vivendo esse sonho todo dia
Todo mundo sabia que o garoto sabia tocar
O garoto sabia tocar
No centro do holofote brilhante
Dando tudo de si toda noite
Vivendo seu sonho de todas as formas
Todo mundo sabia que o garoto sabia tocar
O garoto sabia tocar
Oh, o garoto sabia tocar
