Leavin's Been Comin' (For A Long, Long Time) - George Strait

(Sonny Throckmorton/Dave Kirby/Joe Allen)

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

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 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

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
