Lyrics
Kid Gone Astray
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He waits every evening
Outside schoolyard gates
Dealing death whoever wants to pay
Hide your tears
Act much older than your years
Can't you see it's building up this way?
Just another kid gone astray
Hey momma, did you know
Just where your baby's gone
Do you know she walks the streets at night
Emergency, but you can't believe
Just what you see
Read the news it happens every day
Just another kid gone astray
Don't bite the helping hand
That reaches out to understand
We all need a little time
To put the reason to the rhyme
Everybody has their day
But sooner or later we're all gonna stray
Gone astray
Just like a loaded gun, finger on the trigger
And having fun
Nobody's gonna stand in my way
Don't lose touch,
Slip through my hands
And out of reach
Come on back, we'll work it out someway The stakes are high,
But you can't gamble with your life
Can't you see
I need you here today
Just another kid gone astray
