The video is about as harmless as all of that sounds. An odd opening in which a grown-a-- woman hops out of a school bus pretending to be a kid is the only "Wait, what?" moment, followed by generic, "small-town" scenes filling up the bulk of the clip. Here is a sampling of the lyrics, which Kid seems to have copied and pasted from the "Billboard" Country chart:

We've seen this. The days of making money selling records like we were used to when it first came out are not there — and I'm not necessarily upset about that. To me, live is everything, always has been." The artist will share lyrics from the album on his website every Monday leading up to its release. He is also asking fans to share photos on Twitter and Instagram of their first kiss of the New Year with the hashtag #KidRockFirstKiss.
