  • And I'd tear out the pages
    That I've got in these books
    Just to find you some words
    Just to get some reward
    And I'll show you all the photographs
    That I ever got took
    And I'll play you old 45s
    That now mean nothing to me

    [Chorus]
    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

    Now I've stood on your shadow
    And I've watched it grow
    And it's shaken and it's driven me
    And let me know
    About all the old 45s
    And the paperback rooms
    And it's scattered all the photographs
    Of summers and suns

    [Chorus]

    Cause you're a real gone kid

    I cried and I craved
    Hoped and I saved
    And I put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs)
    Cried and I craved
    Hoped and I saved
    And I put away those souvenirs (souvenirs, souvenirs)

    [Chorus]

    Cause you're a real gone kid Writer/s: RICKY ROSS
