When leavin's been comin' for a long, long time
[Refrão]F# B
I packed up my suitcase and started my pickup
A E
So many times in my mind
F# B
It's a hard road to travel from blacktop to gravel
A B7
And the next hill is the hardest to 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
And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time
