Story of a Young Dude
(P.Koziol, K.Hulshoff)
I’ve got a story to tell you
It’s twisted up in my mind
Just a story about a young dude
Who keeps losing track of time
He’s got a job and he pays his bills
Saving money for rent
He gets a paycheck at the end of the week
But it’s already spent, and he said...
Lift me up I’m feeling left behind
I feel like I'm chasing something
That I think I’ll never find
I feel like my mind is stuck in overdrive
I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope
Across the borderline
One day when he was lonely
And tired inside
He wandered down to the music shop
A Jem was waiting inside
Six strings and a body of gold
He fell in love with the sound
He took it home when he was all alone
And he started playing it loud, singing
Chorus
He started humming something quietly out
And soon the melody’s becoming a song
It came from somewhere deep inside of him
And he started singing along
(Solo)
His uncle took him to a studio
It wasn’t part of his plan
He got his song up on the radio and
Now he’s got thousands of fans
singing...
Lift me up I’m feeling left behind
I feel like I'm chasing something that I thought I’d never find
I feel like my mind is stuck in overdrive
I feel like I’m walking on a tightrope
Across the borderline
