I'm real real gone
I got hit by a bow and arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You're a friend of mine and real, real gone

Oh the radio, music comin' in here
The Sam Coe's voice
Well I know I don't have any choice
Just the way it is and
I'm real, I'm real, real, real gone

I can't stand up by myself
Don't you know babe, I need your help, hey
You're a friend of mine and
I'm real, I'm real, real gone
I got hit by a bow and arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You're a friend of mine and real, real
Real gone

Some people say that you can
Make it on your own
They say you can make it if you try
But I know better now
You can't stand up alone
Baby, baby, that is why I'm real, real gone

Well I'm dancin', dancin' till my
Till my body's soakin' wet
Till I'm completely filled with sweat, well
Once I start it I'm just
I'm just real, real, real gone

I got hit by a bow and arrow
It got me down to the very narrow
You're a friend of mine and real gone

Well the music's playin' on the radio
Oh but I can't dance and stare in space
When my feet get tipsy, touch your face
You're a friend of mine and real, real gone
Help me stand up
Help me stand up all by myself
You're a friend of mine and real real gone
