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

 [bad word]  
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

 [bad word] 

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
