I’ve Been A Long Time Leaving Lyrics
Now somebody else can wake you in the morning
And tell you that you look the most
Drink the coffee you made the night before
And eat your burnt up toast
I took all that I can take, I'm looking for a new home
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, and somebody else can walk your old dog
And put the cat out late at night
Practice dodgin' them pots and pats
Every time you wanna fight
But it's sweet to be remembered, by a letter or telephone
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, I remember you used to say that you love me so
And all the little things you did for me, but that was long ago
But now you've changed your mind
It seems that you lay around and you cuss and moan
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, I remember, you used to say that you love me so
And all the little things you used to do for me
But that was long ago
'Cause you've changed your mind
It seems you lay around and you cuss and moan
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
And tell you that you look the most
Drink the coffee you made the night before
And eat your burnt up toast
I took all that I can take, I'm looking for a new home
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, and somebody else can walk your old dog
And put the cat out late at night
Practice dodgin' them pots and pats
Every time you wanna fight
But it's sweet to be remembered, by a letter or telephone
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, I remember you used to say that you love me so
And all the little things you did for me, but that was long ago
But now you've changed your mind
It seems that you lay around and you cuss and moan
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, I remember, you used to say that you love me so
And all the little things you used to do for me
But that was long ago
'Cause you've changed your mind
It seems you lay around and you cuss and moan
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
I've been a long time leaving, but now I'm finally gone
