Too Gone For Too Long

This is one of my favorite Randy Travis songs and I send it out to an ex (when I say ex, I mean EX, talking 15 years ago!), who still sends me emails saying he misses me and wants to see me. Too effin' bad, Dude. You just don't get it, do you? Well, I'll let Randy tell it (with apologies, I just changed "she's" to "he's").


You've been too gone, for too long,
it's too late to come back now
It's been so long since you walked out my door
now you're just an old song nobody sings anymore
I gotta a new love and he's the true love
but darlin' how could you have known?
you've been too gone, for too long
now it's too late to come back home

You've came a long way, goin' the wrong way
don't even set your suitcase down
You wanted to roam, now you're paying the bills
you're an old rollin' stone who rode over the hills
I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"
I didn't wanna let you go
but you've been too gone for too long
now it's too late to come back home

I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"
I didn't wanna let you go
but you've been too gone for too long
so why don't you just stay gone?
now you've been too gone for too long
now it's too late to come back home.
