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'm a stubborn woman

And I knew he was a passionate man

Though our feelings were intense

Our problems were immense

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

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
