Lyrics Leavin's Been Coming (For a Long, Long Time) - George Strait

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...
