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 got a new love and she's a true love My darlin' how could you have known You've been too gone for too long Now it's too late to come back home You came a long way goin' the wrong way Don't even set your suitcase down You wanted to roam now you're payin' the bills You're an old rolling stone who rolled over the hill I had a good cry when you said good-bye I didn't want to 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 good-bye I didn't want to 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
