Miller, Roger - I've Been A Long Time Leavin' Lyrics
I've been a fool, I've been a foo-ooo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time you done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone
Loved you so much, loved you so mu-u-huuuch
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone
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's flyin'
And he whoops the big legs on my Levi's
They go woop woop woop woop woop
I've been a fool, I've been a foo-oo-ooool
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone
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's flyin'
And he's whoopin' the big legs on my Levi's
Woop woop woop woop woop woop woop woop
I've been a fool, I've been a foo-oo-ooool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin' ya, but I'll be a long time gone
gone gone gone
gone gone gone

Miller, Roger I've Been A Long Time Leavin' Comments
Just caught a fly listening to this .
Wow first time I have heard this! Roger Miller was a musical genius. Thank you Mr. Miller for your wealth of wonderful songs.
Where’s this song been all my life???
I’ve known about much of Roger Miller’s work for over three decades— but I just heard this one yesterday off a truck stop comp CD. What a tune! I love the whoopin whippin Levi’s sounds in the truckers wind wake
This is ridiculously good
Waylon did it ever so slightly better
That's what I'm saying, both are good. But waylon has my heart haha
Waylon did it justice...
He sure did. :)
I don't know why I really like his song
Miss you, Roger Miller! Always my favorite!!
Pathos with humor, something unique to Mr. Miller -- his very unique brand of genius. 8/2018
Lot going on in this song..love it!
Good observation -- Yes, a lot! 8/2018
Not to be confused with the Howard Crockett song also called "I've Been a Long Time Leavin'" (https://motownjunkies.co.uk/2011/09/22/413/)

+John Jarou Absolutely!
Says it like no other could.

Very entertaining and enjoyable.Too bad hes gone.He was uplifting with his unique humor in song.
your hearing a okie paul simon. roger could sculpture feelings an words together like no other, i miss his way very much. rip "old friend"
First time I ever heard this song. It is just terrific.
His best song.
Great song for when you look back on a gone relationship and facepalm "what was I thinking?" 1:45
best Roger Miller Song by far
@murphstrings Actually, you had a great record . . . a 2-sided hit! Husbands and Wives gives quite a lot to think about . . . with those those lyrics. And this song is just the best.
great! i bought this 45 when it came out! i was a huge Roger fan as a young wannabe guitarist. i was disappointed (at age 10) with 'husbands and wives' but this was the B side and i liked it a lot.
this is probably one of my favorite songs of his
