I've Been a Long Time Leaving (But I'll Be a Long Time Gone) (Remastered) Songtext
von Waylon Jennings

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.

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...
