Lyrics Video Kids - John Lewitt

We grew up by the TV screen
Thought we knew it all in our crazy teens
Learned to light a match to start a fire
Broke the liquor vault with my Daddy's pliers

And Mary Jane was the first girl I ever kissed
We were young with forever on our lips
Nowadays I heard she moved away
And settled down with some guy out in LA

We were video kids growing up to soon
Playing video games up in my room
Every hero I knew covered all my walls
We hid the cigarettes when my Mom called
We were video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)

We hung out by the Dairy Queen
We were small town kids with big town dreams
Old enough to swear but too young to drive
Gonna rule the world, but be home by nine.

Now all my friends have gone their separate ways
Raising kids, poker night, PTA
But when I think back to when we felt alive
I still long for those crazy nights.

We were video kids growing up to soon
Playing video games up in my room
Every hero I knew covered all my walls
We hid the cigarettes when my Mom called
We were video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)

How come memories get sweeter with time
We had everything when we didn't have a dime
Now I want to head back to my room
And hang out with the memory of all of you

We were video kids growing up to soon
Playing video games up in my room
Every hero I knew covered all my walls
We hid the cigarettes when my Mom called
We were video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)
Video kids (Video, video)
