I've Been a Long Time Leaving

(Roger Miller)



I've been a fool, I've been a fool

Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong

I've been a long time leavin'

But I'll be a long time gone.



Loved you so much I loved you so much

I stayed around when I should've moved along

I've been a long time leaving

But I'll be a long time gone.



Hello highline, hello highway

Here come a big ole semi my way

I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come

Trees goin' by, lookin' like a fly.



On my big legs are my Levi's

Hup, hup, hup, hup.



I've been a fool, I've been a fool

Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong

I've been a long time leavin'

But I'll be a long time gone.
