Bayside - Don't Come Easy lyrics

Portrait of a real American boy He keeps his insecurities at bay The King of Belle Vernon P.A. He's got a car his friends and him take up to the lake To narrowly escape this town's like glue they say Cause once you're here you stay The portrait of a real American boy And it don't come easy He's just working as hard as he can But you'll never know if you don't let go Of you to find your own identity, identity The boy became a real American man The product of a past that makes him mad And now he's turned into his dad He still works at the gas station doing tune-ups "Man I think I had a shot," he'd say "if only I could only catch a break" The portrait of a real American boy And it don't come easy He's just working as hard as he can But you'll never know if you don't let go Of you to find your own identity And it don't come easy He's just working as hard as he can But you'll never know if you don't let go Of you to find your own identity, identity What's all this for? What are we ever working towards? The jobs and lovers always came and went The story of his life is etched into a vinyl And on both sides he hears his famous friends And now it all makes sense yeah, yeah, yeah And it don't come easy He's just working as hard as he can But you'll never know if you don't let go Of you to find your own identity It don't come easy He's just working as hard as he can But you'll never know if you don't let go Of you to find your own identity, identity
