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

von Gene Watson

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'
When 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.

I've got all the answers for most of the questions
And some that ain't easy to find
There's no more erasin' the things I've been facin'
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time.

--- Instrumental ---

[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.

I've got all the answers for most of the questions
And some that ain't easy to find
There's no more erasin' the things I've been facin'
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time...
