He was just another boy from Georgia   Playing in a rock 'n roll band   I was living in L.A., in a Hollywood way   Then I met him and he loved me, we got married      Now, he's too far gone to hold me   Too far gone, he doesn't wanna know me   Too far gone and he doesn't really know   No, he'll never get to know his son      Now, I know that I'm a stubborn woman   But 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      Now, he's too far gone to hold me   Too far gone, he doesn't wanna know me   Too far gone and he doesn't really know   No, he'll never get to know his son      It's hard to cut it loose   But only one man holds the key   To what I did to many men   Was finally done to me      Now, I'm tryin' 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
