VERSE
She was only sixteen when Kitty fell in love
To the blue eyed boy she’d been dreaming of
Jake was eighteen and just out of school
Waitin’ on life to tell him what to do
Her momma said, “You can do better”!
But Kitty’s wrapped around that boy
Like an old sweater
CHORUS 1
She’s too far gone and out of control Couldn’t reel her in with a fishin’ pole
When the love bug bites—there’s no antiseptic
Just suck it up and forget it
Cause she’s too far gone
VERSE
Daddy said boy—you go to college
That guitar won’t play like a head full of knowledge
But Joe don’t care about higher learning
Rock and Roll’s got his—heart burning
CHORUS 2
And he’s too far gone and out of control
Couldn’t reel him in with a fishin’ pole
When the song bird sings—you’re infected
Just face the music and accept it
Cause he’s too far gone
BRIDGE
No changing lanes—no turning back
When the heart and the mind—are on the same track
They’re gone
INSTRUMENTAL
Just suck it up and forget it
Face the music and accept it
They’re just too far gone
TAG
(B/G) Too far go—one
Yeah, she’s too far gone
(B/G) Too far go—one
Yeah, he’s too far gone
(B/G) Too far go—one
Yeah they're too far gone
