Lyrics
Too Far Gone
© 2011/Hank Thomas all rights reserved
I been drivin' by this old place, for ten years now
It's a shame somebody let her go, she once stood tall and proud
Shingles splittin', windows shattered, porch is saggin' pretty low
When I ask around everybody says, oh that old place, is just too far gone.
It don't seem like it'd take too much, to fix her up real nice
A simple job for somebody good with a hammer and a saw
A little elbow grease, some TLC, is all she really needs
A place like this should never be---Too far gone
It's kinda like you and me, least what we have become
Foundation's good and strong, we just drift a bit sometimes
A little tender loving care, is all we really need
A love like yours and mine can never, really be, too far gone
What say we pick up that old place, prob'ly get her for a song
And put it back together, bring our love right through the door
I'm alright with a hammer, Y'ain't so bad with a saw
We can bring her back to glory, and take ourselves along
It's kinda like you and me, least what we will become
Foundation's good and strong, we just drift a bit sometimes
A little tender loving care, is all we really need
Love like yours and mine can never really be, too far gone
(Foundation's good and strong) we just drift a bit sometimes
Love like yours and mine, can never be-- too far gone
(we just drift a bit sometimes) Sweet love, Sweet love
