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 And it was breaking Mommas heart I drove those thousand miles Like a bat out of hell Searched every corner Every low rent motel Til I found her there With greasy hair And a strangers eyes And then she cried And I held her tight And said youve been Chorus: Gone from love too long Theres nothing to be ashamed of No way you could have known Life was gonna knock you down Strip you to the bone And leave you all alone Girl youve been gone from love too long As the lights of L.A. faded in our rear-view mirror She said, Sis Im scared to death I left home inoccent Im going back a sinner Ive seen and done things Id just as soon forget She put out that cigarette and crumpled up the pack And said, "What I wouldnt give to have just part of myself back" And I took her hand, said "I understand" And she broke down She said, "Tell me how, do I face momma now?" I said youve been Gone from love too long Theres nothing to be ashamed of No way you could have known Life was gonna knock you down Strip you to the bone And leave you all alone Girl youve been gone from love too long Momma met us halfway down the driveway Held out her arms to her baby And all she had to say is Youve been gone from love too long Theres nothing to be ashamed of No way you could have known Life was gonna knock you down Strip you to the bone And leave you all alone Girl youve been gone from love too long
