Lyrics

Real Gone

[Intro] I'm American made, apple pie, Chevrolet My momma taught me wrong from right [Verse 1] I was born in the South Sometimes I have a big mouth When I see something that I don't like I got to say it Well, we've been driving this road for a mighty long time Paying no mind to the signs Well, this neighborhood's changed It's all been rearranged We left that dream somewhere behind [Chorus] Slow down, you're going to crash Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast Look out babe, you've got your blinders on Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone Real gone Real gone [Verse 2] But there's a new cat in town He's got high-faded friends Thinks he's going to change history You think you know him so well Yeah you think he's so swell But he's just perpetuating prophecy [Chorus] Slow down, you're going to crash Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast Look out babe, you've got your blinders on Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone Real gone Real gone [Verse 3] Well you can say what you want But you can't say it around here Because they'll catch you and give you a whipping Well, I believe I was right when I said you were wrong You didn't like the sound of that Now, did you? [Chorus] Slow down, you're going to crash Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast Look out babe, you've got your blinders on Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone Real gone Real gone [Chorus] Slow down, you're going to crash Baby you're a-screaming it's a blast, blast, blast Look out babe, you've got your blinders on Everybody's looking for a way to get real gone Real gone Real gone
