He was just another boy from Georgia
Playing in a rock and roll band
I was living in L.A. in a Hollywood way
Then I met him and he loved me
We got married

CHORUS:
Now he´s too far gone to hold me
Too far gone doesn´t want to know me
Too far gone and he doesn´t really know
No he´ll never get to know his son

Now I know I am a stubborn woman
But I knew he was a passionate man
Though our feelings were intense
Our problems were a menace
But we tried hard and we held on
But we let it go

Chorus

It´s hard to cut it loose
But only one man holds the key to what
I did to many men finally done to me
Now I´m trying not to fall to pieces
But I think about him every day
When I lay down by his side
Tears of love would fill my eyes
Ooh I loved him and he loved me
But we let it go

Too far gone too far gone
And he doesn´t really know
God he´ll never get to know his son, his son
