Lyrics
LONG TIME LEAVING
BY LONDIS CARPENTER
COPYRIGHT © 2005
VERSE 1
IT TOOK A LONG TIME TO DO WHAT I HAD TO DO.
TOOK ME TWENTY YEARS TO GET ENOUGH OF YOU.
BUT NOW THE PARTY’S OVER AND
I’M GONNA RIGHT SOME WRONG.
I’VE BEEN A LONG TIME LEAVING,
BUT I’M GONNA BE A LONG TIME GONE.
VERSE 2
WHEN WE FIRST MET I SAID HOW IT WOULD BE.
I SAID I’D GO AWAY IF YOU START NAGGING ME.
BUT YOU HAD YOUR WAY AND
THIS DOG IS GONNA HAVE HIS DAY.
I’VE BEEN A LONG TIME LEAVING,
BUT I’M GONNA BE A LONG TIME GONE.
BRIDGE
A LONG TIME LEAVING
A LONG TIME GREIVING
A LOT OF MISCONCEIVING
AND NOW I’LL BE A LONG TIME GONE
VERSE 3
I TOOK A LOT OF NAGGING AND STILL SAID THAT’S OKAY.
I DIDN’T EVEN ACT OUT WHEN THE IN-LAWS CAME TO STAY.
WHENEVER THINGS SEEMED WRONG
I JUST WROTE ANOTHER SONG.
I’VE BEEN A LONG TIME LEAVING,
BUT I’M GONNA BE A LONG TIME GONE.
