Lyrics I've Been a Long Time Leaving (But I'll Be a Long Time Gone) - 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...
