Back Street Kid Lyrics - Magnum

He had eyes of the poor wild and hungry 

Stood outside of the store shy and clumsy 

Saw an electric guitar he got hooked from the start 

That's what it did 

To the back street kid 

It's a dangerous game might come to nothing 

Very hard to explain the pushing and the shoving 

Still the sound in his ears and the many lean years 

Taught him to live 

The back street kid 

Everyone was singing 

Dream dream back street kid 

Dream dream dream dream back street kid 

He spends hours on his own he's still learning 

Learns to wait for the phone ideas burning 

And from liberty hall he will rise or he'll fall 

That's how he'll live 

The back street kid 

All the kids were singing 

Dream dream back street kid 

Dream dream dream dream back street kid 

He stepped into the rain cold and empty 

Whispered never again not contented 

Walked off into the night he walked far out of sight 

So much to give 

The back street kid 

Dream dream back street kid 

Dream dream dream dream back street kid 

Hear your mama calling 

Dream dream back street kid 

Dream dream dream dream back street kid 

Dream on back street kid
