Lyrics
The Kid Is Back
Verse 1
Who you foolin? -- Not me -- I been away and you ? play free
Down town with your gown on, -The word got ?round to me
Chorus:
The kid is back ------------ he?s been keepin? track
The kid is back with an itch to scratch
The kid knows what you did
Verse 2
Call north and south to the -- boat docks, East to west on the - high rocks
Its gone wrong for too long -- today the hammer drops
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Hurricane ?sa blowin make no mistake
A bump in the night gonna make you shake
Ready to fight, never polite,
Just a hard riding, pile driving, - earthquake
Guitar solo
Verse 3
You don?t run and I --- won?t chase ?
Clean this mess and give--- me space
Your man is back, sit and relax - and wipe that smile back on your face
Chorus repeat to end
