LEAVING'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
Writers: Mike McGuire, Charlie Craig, Stowe Dailey

WELL I WOKE UP AND I GOT TO LOOKING
NO ONE’S COOKING AIN’T NO COFFEE ON...SOMETHING’S WRONG
I GUESS THIS TIME WELL I’VE REALLY DONE IT
ALL MY RUNNING ROUND’S CAUGHT UP WITH ME...I’M HISTORY
WELL SHE’S TOLD ME GOODBYE BEFORE , BUT THIS TIME SHE WALKED OUT THE DOOR

CHORUS
HER LEAVING’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING
BUT I GUESS I HAD IT COMING ALL ALONG
HER LEAVING’S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING-LORD LORD
NOW SHE’S GONE, GONE, LONG GONE

I MADE UP MY MIND TO FORGER HER
JUST CAN’T LET HER MEMORY GET ME DOWN...SO I HIT THE TOWN
AND THERE SHE WAS THERE WAS NO MISTAKING SHE WAS TAKEN
WITH SOME COWBOY NAMED JOE...AND THEY WERE DANCING CLOSE
NOW AS FAR AS I CAN SEE, LOOKS LIKE SHE’S GETTING OVER ME

CHORUS
