[Verse 1] I hit that retro game shop after work I see dust on the glass, a price tag looking wrong One gray brick looking tired and worn Nintendo logo faded off the face The clerk said son, that one don't boot Battery dead and the labels peeling and torn Still, I held it up like it was gold Old school fire in a plastic mold [Pre-Chorus] I've dug through bins in every town Chasing my lost childhood, turning back time Just one more find, one more night Makes that long game hunt feel just right [Chorus] Game Boy cartridge, hold your light Game Boy cartridge, bring it home tonight Cart by cart, we still believe Game Boy cartridge, that's enough for me Game Boy cartridge, sing it loud Game Boy cartridge, in the crowd Ain't just games, it's days gone by Little gray door to the other side [Verse 2] Found a Tetris DX with the sticker curled And Link's Awakening, silver swirl A little dust, a lack of shame I knew every game cart by name Price went up, but I won't fold I'll trade my stack for a box that's old Beat up cases, screen that's dim Still feels like summer settling in [Pre-Chorus] I load that game and wait for the tone Watch the green screen slowly come on Every save file, every hard stage won Looks like this little game isn’t quite done [Chorus] Game Boy cartridge, hold your light Game Boy cartridge, bring it home tonight Cart by cart, we still believe Game Boy cartridge, that's enough for me Game Boy cartridge, sing it loud Game Boy cartridge, in the crowd Ain't just games, it's days gone by Little gray door to the other side [Bridge] Sometimes the hunt leaves me broke Sometimes I laugh at every joke 'Cause one clean shell, one working save Can make a grown man feel like a kid again [Chorus] Game Boy cartridge, hold your light Game Boy cartridge, bring it home tonight Cart by cart, we still believe Game Boy cartridge, that's enough for me Game Boy cartridge, sing it loud Game Boy cartridge, in the crowd Ain't just games, it's days gone by Little gray door to the other side
