Superkid Do you remember Superkid? How could you forget? Has he made it yet? Behind the smoke that filled the stage Dressed in the clothes his mother made Playing a guitar that was bigger than him He really packed them in His songs were so catchy Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Superkid He really was a super kid Until he learned to fly And left us all behind His childhood sweetheart loved him so She was at almost every show Packed in a van his father drove You should have seen them go His brother was a roadie Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Superkid I think I last saw Superkid On late-night TV He's just as old as you and me I don't believe in Superkid How could there be a Superkid? Driving a rental car He never got that far Nothing in this life's guaranteed Nothing you build will outlast me Nothing can fool you like a dream Like a dream
