Hey Kid

© 2021 by Paul Sacco Em G

V1 Got my 1st car---I turned 12 that fall---cost 15 bucks, drove it through a wall

Left it by the tracks, in the rail yard, near the factories, we broke into and robbed


CHORUS 1X (picking, and gentle eerie sounds no bass drum)

Hey kid, what you gonna do

gotta live hard,

gotta be you


V2 Ruben wouldn’t drive, unless he was drunk -- we spilled out our beer --in his car till it stunk

<In the snow I saw’m comin’-- stole his dad’s car, <dropped a wheel on the curb, he didn’t get far


CHORUS 1X (picking, and gentle eerie sounds no bass drum)


INTERLUDE (D,Em)

With leather helmets on the field

Marines as coaches wouldn’t yield

We would go to class -- sick with the flu


The bullies they would run the show

and we were scared of them you know,       C

but we would face the beast -- each day of school…


LEAD Ken then Paul


CHORUS 2X

nobody’s there to worry ‘bout you


End on Em
