Messin' With The Kid

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It ain't too easy being a young man

Going round in circles, honey, all the time

You've played their game now for so long can't see

What in the world are they trying to do to me?

Sometimes you get that old lost feeling

Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down

It's that old feeling, honey, brings you down

I say it makes you crawl...

You walk down the main street out in the city

See all the girls now they're so pretty

But all their smiling faces, yeah are gonna pass you by

It don't make no difference no matter how hard you try

Sometimes you get that old lost feeling

Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down

It's that old feeling, honey, brings you down

I say it makes you crawl...

Ya hangin' 'round in alleys, ya hangin' 'round in bars

Just looking for some fun but you don't get none and there you are...

Looking for some action looking for some fun but you are down in the gutter

And you don't get none, oh no, just nothing left to do at night, yeah

How do you feel now that it's all over

Your games all melted under the sun

Just like a kid, take a trip down to the sea

Stuck out in the middle and there's just nothing left to say

But, sometimes you get that old lost feeling

Sometimes it hits you when you're feeling down

It's that old feeling, honey, brings you down

I say it makes you crawl...

Yeah.
