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
