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

 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
