I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin'
But it'll be a long time gone

Loved you so much, I loved you so much
I stayed around when I should've moved along
I've been a long time leaving
But it'll be a long time gone

Hello high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
Stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
Trees goin' by, lookin' like a fly
On the big legs are my Levi's

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin'
But it'll be a long time gone

Hello high line, hello highway
Here come a big old semi my way
I stick up my thumb, hear the truck come
Trees goin' by, lookin' like a fly
On the big legs are my Levi's

I've been a fool, I've been a fool
Forgivin' you each time that you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leavin'
But it'll be a long time gone

    "Stick out my thumb, here the truck come
    Truck goes by, looks like he's flyin'
    Whooppin' the big legs on my Levis" (Whoop whoop sounds)
