Skid-Row Kid Lyrics

1. Beg steal borrow desire
A child's heart seemed to expire
No denying a city's a jungle
Rats in the backyard
2. Big city, Hopeless and rough
A child's life stone cold and tough
Little sneaker, alley sleeper
Prince of the backyard

3. No career, no tomorrow
A child's day of hunger and sorrow
All dreams lost and decayed in the
Dirt of the backyard
Chorus: Kid from skid-row
Tough heart, Hobo

Bridge: Backstreet boy
Got no joy
But knows how to
Cheat on you
Chorus: Kid from skid-row
Backyard, black-heart
Kid from skid-row
Toughboy, Hobo
