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      Chorus:   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      Chorus      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
