Lyrics
BABY'S GONE
By Dean Holtermann & Shannon Conley
I left home when I was seventeen
I skipped some pages in the book of life it seems
But ,I didn't care ,no I did'nt care at all.
I left so many things behind
I took a sack of clothes , and a pocket full of pride
I was on my way , out that door for good,
Yeah I was on my way, I was out that door for good..
I took to following that very first track,
trying like hell not to double back
I keep on forging,forging on ahead.
still there's more water to tread
Now that Baby's Gone
It's been a long hard twisted road
That pride turned into a knapsack full of stones,
But I don't stop trying , no ,I just can't stop
I think back to the child I was
How it compares to the person I've become,
It's just about the same. just a few more lines in my face...
Oh yeah It's just about the same. just a few more lines in my face...
I took to following that very first track,
trying like hell not to double back
I keep on forging,forging on ahead.
still there's more water to shead
Now that Baby's Gone
Babys Gone ooohh baby baby baby's gone
a baby a baby don't you double back
you get your butt up off that very first track,
you gotta keep on, you gotta keep on,forging on ahead.
and still there's more water to tread
Now that Baby's Gone
Baby's Gone
