Too Gone For Too Long

When I first heard this I was flabbergasted. I can only describe this as

some sort of jazzed-up country tune with a whisp of Gipsy, or Romany or

whatever you guys call it. And it's fast, with a tight *boom* *chic*

stroke. Is this making any sense? I'm sure that what I'm submitting here

is incredibly oversimplified and/or incomplete cause I'm doing this from

memory, so if anyone can do a more accurate tab, by all means, do it.

Anyway, it like, kicks butt. It's on Randy Travis' "Forever and Ever" (I

think) but I doubt he wrote this himself. I *love* it! I wish I knew

what this style is called, so I could look for more stuff like it. Anyone

who's familliar with it, please help me out here. What the **** do I know

anyway, I'm dutch and not even supposed to like country music :-) Send all

your comments 'n stuff to tgtchb@chem.tue.nl, or to the news letter.

Regards, Bo.

Too Gone, Too Long - Randy Travis

You've been too gone, too long,

it's too late to come back now

It's been so long since you walked out my door

now you're just an old song nobody sings anymore

I gotta a new love and she's the true love

but darlin' how could you have known?

Cause you've been too gone, for too long

now it's too late to come back home

You've been a long way, goin' the wrong way

don't even set your suitcase down

You wanted to roam, now you're paying the bills

you're an old rollin' stone who ran over the hills

I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"

I didn't wanna let you go

but you've been too gone for too long

now it's too late to come back home

I had a good cry when you said "Goodbye"

I didn't wanna let you go

but you've been too gone for too long

so why don't you just stay gone?

you've been too gone for too long

now it's too late to come back home
