[Verse 1]
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 to climb

[Verse 2]
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
