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
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
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
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)
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
