[Verse 1]
Boy next door not too complacent
Lost till he found how to pound the pavement
He walked like a saint lost far in a world of sin
[Verse 2]
No mama to assure his situation
A misfit piss poor education
He talked a big game but never could seem to win
[Verse 3]
And southwest Detroit isn’t a place to talk no trash
You can throw some dap but it’s best not to flash no cash
You grow up quick, fighting for the upper end of lower class
And sometimes ya feel like sand in an hour glass
Hey there young man, you better dig down deep in your soul
You better learn to play and pray God save rock and roll
[Verse 4]
He got a four-piece band for his graduation
A second hand van and they toured the nation
But no one seemed to ever wanna sing a long
[Verse 5]
They headed out west to find salvation
But the Sunset Strip’s a big temptation
The girls and cocaine seemed to write every song
Boy next door not too complacent
Lost till he found how to pound the pavement
He walked like a saint lost far in a world of sin
[Verse 2]
No mama to assure his situation
A misfit piss poor education
He talked a big game but never could seem to win
[Verse 3]
And southwest Detroit isn’t a place to talk no trash
You can throw some dap but it’s best not to flash no cash
You grow up quick, fighting for the upper end of lower class
And sometimes ya feel like sand in an hour glass
Hey there young man, you better dig down deep in your soul
You better learn to play and pray God save rock and roll
