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've got a new love and she's a 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 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 rolling stone who rolled over the hill

Well I had a good cry when you said goodbye
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 goodbye
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
You've been too gone for too long
Now it's too late to come back home
