I Stayed Away Too Long
i went to a house wher i use to go
you know the gras hardly then grown
up and cover the door there was a
man across the street he said who
do you see he said the girl now she
dont live there anymore and i said i
stayed away to long (stayed away to
long)i stayed away to long the man
looked at me he had a tear in his eye
he said son now you dont know how
much you made that girl cry now it
was six long months ago with a tall
handsome guy &&' she waved she
waved to me her last goodbye and
all i can do is stand there and say i
stayed away to long (stayed away to
long) i shouldnt been there when
she needed me i stayed away to
long oh i miss her so i stayed away
much to long wonder wonder if ill
ever see her again i stayed away to
long to long
you know the gras hardly then grown
up and cover the door there was a
man across the street he said who
do you see he said the girl now she
dont live there anymore and i said i
stayed away to long (stayed away to
long)i stayed away to long the man
looked at me he had a tear in his eye
he said son now you dont know how
much you made that girl cry now it
was six long months ago with a tall
handsome guy &&' she waved she
waved to me her last goodbye and
all i can do is stand there and say i
stayed away to long (stayed away to
long) i shouldnt been there when
she needed me i stayed away to
long oh i miss her so i stayed away
much to long wonder wonder if ill
ever see her again i stayed away to
long to long
