It seems like you're doing better these days Even though things are falling apart I know it's brutal working minimum wage It's like you're finished before you start Things got ugly for a while back there I know I thought that you wouldn't pull through Late at night when the phone would ring There's no telling what you would do
Sometimes we'd yell and act mad as hell Sometimes we'd act like we didn't care Some of our love was just suffocating It left you turning blue and gasping for air
C'mon kid, c'mon, it's one foot and then the other Everybody needs a hand sometimes, everybody needs a brother Well c'mon kid, c'mon, I'm reaching out to you Get out of bed kid, face the world, and show 'em what you can do
I'm sorry I was always casting stones Like my glass house couldn't be smashed I spent as many nights as wild as a lion I was lucky that I never crashed Look, I've never really been no angel, I see a lot of myself in you This little town can feel a lot like prison and angry young men Angry young men always got something to prove Always got something to prove
C'mon kid, c'mon, it's one foot and then the other Everybody needs a hand sometimes, everybody needs a brother Well c'mon kid, c'mon, I'm reaching out to you Get out of bed kid, face the world, and show us what you can do
I know you ended up with bills to pay I know she promised you that she would stay I know they told you he died for your sins and he's the only way
I know it caught you by surprise I got the call that you almost died Sometimes the biggest winners lose, And it could cut you down to size Well, did it cut you down to size?
C'mon kid, c'mon, it's one foot and then the other Everybody needs a hand sometimes, everybody needs a brother C'mon kid, c'mon, I'm reaching out to you Get out of bed kid, face the world... show them what you can do
