VERSE 1 Baby sister set out for the bright lights of California Said she was gonna be a star No word from someone in six long months can sure get on ya It was breakin' mama's heart I drove that thousand miles like a bat, outta hell Searched every corner every low rent, motel Till I found her there with greasy hair and a strangers eyes And she cried and I held her tight CHORUS Said you've been gone from love too long There's nothing to be ashamed of No way you coulda known Life was gonna knock you down And strip you to the bone And leave you all alone Girl you've been gone From love too long VERSE 1 As the lights of LA faded in our rearview, mirror She said sis I'm scared to death I left home innocent and I'm going back, a sinner Seen and done things I'd just as soon, forget Letras de cancionesShe put out her last cigarette and, crumpled up the pack and said What I wouldn't give to have just part of, myself back Then I took her hand and said I, understand She said tell me how do I face mama now CHORUS Mama met us halfway down the driveway Held out her arms to her baby And all she had to say was You been gone from love too long There's nothing to be ashamed of There's no way you coulda known Life was gonna knock you down And strip you to the bone And leave you all alone Girl you've been gone From love too long From love too long (Thanks to Seersh for these lyrics) From Letras Mania
