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' When 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 that ain't easy to find There's no more erasin' the things I've been facin' And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time. --- Instrumental --- 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 that ain't easy to find There's no more erasin' the things I've been facin' And leavin's been comin' for a long, long time...
