Ballad Of A 90s Kid

A 90s boy with a 60s mind He never knew he'd reach these heights Paying his dues to rock n roll A man reached out to buy his soul Down by the shore the place they met And he made him a promise of private jets Like Johnny Jimmy And those before them He'd never have to worry again Paint it black and cross-road blues The blueprint our man would use To find fame and get the girl To reach the top and rule the world It all came true just like he said Referring to the man in red And all he did was sell his soul To finally reach his lifelong goal He could see before his eyes The strange red man had told no lies Money and fame his alibi He knew this was it As he thought back to what he said Realized what he did No going back and no regrets He knew this was it As time went by his word came good And he was living like he should Someone there inside his mind The man in red was biding time Pulling strings Controlling all things Keeping true to the word he'd bring Setting the world alight for him Time and time and time again He could see before his eyes The strange red man had told no lies Money and fame his alibi He knew this was it As he thought back to what he said Realized what he did No going back and no regrets He knew this was it Now he'd come realize The man in red had told a lie And he was his to do as he please Bound by oath for eternity Wishing they'd never met before Regretting his choice to go the shore Won't you take back all the things he said This is the ballad of a 90s kid This is the ballad of a 90s kid This is the ballad of a 90s kid This is the ballad of a 90s kid This is the ballad of a 90s kid
