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 I'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 I'll be a long time gone
Hello highline hello highway here come a big ole semi my way
I stick up my thumb hear the truck come trees goin' by lookin' like a fly
On my big legs are my Levi's hup hup hup hup
I've been a fool...
[ harmonica ]
Hello highline hello highway...
