Gone From Love Too Long Lyrics - Singles - Amanda Wilkinson

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 breaking Mommas heart 

 

I drove that thousand miles like a bat out of hell 

Searched every corner, every low rent motel 

Till I found her there with greasy hair and a strangers eyes 

And then she cried and I held her tight 

 

And said, "You've been gone from love too long 

There's 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 you've been gone from love too long" 

 

As the lights of LA faded in our rear-view mirror 

She said, "Sis I'm scared to death" 

I left home innocent, I'm going back a sinner 

I've seen and done things I'd just as soon forget 

 

She put out her last cigarette and crumpled up the pack 

And said, "What I wouldn't give to have just part of myself back" 

And I took her hand, said, "I understand", she broke down 

She said, "Tell me how, do I face Momma now" 

 

I said, "You've been gone from love too long 

There's 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 you've 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 

 

"You've been gone from love too long 

There's 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 you've been gone from love too long 

From love too long"
