Lyrics Poster Child - Corey Kent

High school, seventeen
High on a melody
Writin' songs for nothin'
But the sanity of your soul
No one cheering you on
No one singing along
You're the poster child for too high hopes
And wanna be rock and roll
You got AC/DC, Hank and Johnny
Hangin' on your bedroom wall
Starin' at you, sayin' maybe you ain't crazy after all

So you're corner stage, smokey bar
No crowd goin' wild
Town to town, beat up car
Keep puttin' on miles
Don't stop strummin' that six string
It'll break your heart for a while
But one day, you just might see your name
Up there on that poster child

A dream kills easily
But you can't kill a dream
It ain't a choice, couldn't give it up
Even if you wanted to
It's a poison and a cure
It's a healin' and a hurt
It's in your bones, it's in your blood
Skin deep like an old tattoo

So you're corner stage, smokey bar
No crowd goin' wild
Town to town, beat up car
Keep puttin' on miles
Don't stop strummin' that six string
It'll break your heart for a while
But one day, you just might see your name
Up there on that poster child
Up there on that poster child, yeah

Woah-oh, woah-oh
Keep dreamin' like you're supposed to, child
Woah-oh, woah-oh
'Til it's you on that poster child

Center stage, 'bout to start
Whole crowd's goin' wild
Can't believe where you are
Keep puttin' on miles
Don't stop strummin' that six string
Can't shake that smile
Now some kid's dreamin' 'cause your name
Is up there on that poster child
Up there on that poster child, yeah

High school, seventeen
High on a melody
