I’ve Been A Long Time Leaving (But I’ll Be A Long Time Gone)[Live at the Fillmore New York at Irving Plaza, 2010]
[Chorus 1]
I have been a fool, I have been a fool
Forgiving you each time you done me wrong
I have been a long time leaving you, but I will be a long time gone
[Verse]
Loved you so much, loved you so much
I stayed around when I should've moved along
I have been a long time leaving you, but I will be a long time gone
[Chorus 2]
I say, "Hi there high line, hello highway"
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he is flying
And he whoops the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop
[Chorus 1]
I have been a fool, I have been a fool
Forgiving you each time you done me wrong
I have been a long time leaving you, but I will be a long time gone
[Chorus 2]
I say, "Hi there high line, hello highway"
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
But the truck goes by and he looks like he is flying
And he whoops the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop
[Chorus 1]
I have been a fool, I have been a fool
Forgiving you each time you done me wrong
I have been a long time leaving you, but I will be a long time gone
[Outro]
Gone gone gone
Gone gone gone
