"VCR Kid" lyrics

In my grandad's attic
There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes
And in them there's a kid who looks kinda like I did
Before I made all my mistakes

Before those dark nights
And hard earned fights that he won't win
Before those heartaches and mistakes
That'll haunt you 'til the end
If you just keep on fightin', keep on climbin'
'Til you reach that mountain ridge
I bet you a dollar when you look down in that holler
You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid

It's a beautiful world that we're livin' in
And I'd give all I have just to get it again
Without all the pain
Without all the things I've done
And the lines on my face are startin' to tell
Stories of the past that I know so well
The things that I'm ashamed of
That I've done along the way

All of those darn nights
And hard earned fights that he won't win
Those heartaches, mistakes
That'll haunt you 'til the end
Oh, if you just keep on fightin' and keep on climbin'
'Til you reach that mountain ridge
I bet you a dollar if you look down in that holler
You'll be smilin' like that damned VCR kid

In my grandad's attic
There's a dusty box of old VCR tapes
