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 waiting 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 that tenth birthday candle wish
Innocent nights and that sugar high
From a slice of 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, it shook you
The world might crack yeah but you're gonna get through
Hey kid
I know you didn't ask for this
On that tenth birthday candle wish
Innocent nights and that sugar high
From a slice of 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 gonna be alright some day
You gonna be alright
Hey kid
I know you didn't ask for this
On that tenth birthday candle wish
Innocent nights and that sugar high
From a slice of 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 gonna be alright some day
You gonna be alright
