Lyrics
[Verse 1]
'Cause I'd tear out the pages that I got in these books
Just to find you some words, just to get some reward
And I'd show you all the photographs that I ever got took
And I'd play you old 45's that now mean nothing to me
[Verse 2]
And you're a real gone kid
Maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
Maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
Maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
I'll do what I should have did
[Verse 3]
Now I've stood on your shadow and I've watch it grow
And it's shaken and it's driven me, and let me know
Let me know, let me know, let me know
'Bout all the old 45's and the paperback rooms
And it's scattered all the photographs of summers and suns
[Verse 4]
And you're a real gone kid
And maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
Maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
Maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
I'll do what I should have did
'Cause you're a real gone kid
[Verse 5]
Cried and I craved, hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs
I cried and I craved, hoped and I saved
And I put away those souvenirs, souvenirs, souvenirs
[Verse 6]
You're a real gone kid
And maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
Maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
Maybe now, baby (Maybe now, baby)
I'll do what I should have did
'Cause you're a real gone kid
[Verse 7]
'Cause you're a real gone kid
'Cause you're a real gone kid
(Do what I should've done)
'Cause you're a real gone kid
(Say what I should've said)
You're a real gone kid
