Leavin's Been Comin' (For a Long, Long Time)

(Dave Kirby - Joe Allen - Sonny Throckmorton)



It's never over

'Til it's really over

And someone's left

Standing behind.

It goes without sayin'

It's too late for stayin'

And leavin's been comin'

For a long, long time.



Chorus:

I packed up my suitcase

And started my pickup

So many times in my mind.

It's a hard road to travel

From blacktop to gravel.

And the next hill is

The hardest I'll climb.



I've got all the answers

For most of the questions

And some ain't been easy to find.

There's no more erasin'

The things I've been facin'

And leavin's been comin'

For a long, long time.



Chorus

I packed up my suitcase

And started my pickup

So many times in my mind.

It's a hard road to travel

From blacktop to gravel.

And the next hill

Is the hardest to climb.



And leavin's been comin'

For a long, long time...
