I've been a fool I've been a fool forgiving you each time you've done me wrong
I've been a long time leaving yeah but I'll be a long time gone
Loved you so much loved you so much I stayed around when I should've moved along
I've been a long time leaving yeah but I'll be a long time gone
I say hi there highline hello highway here come a big ole semi my way
I stick up my thumb hear a truck come but the trucks goin' by lookin' like a flyin'
Over two big legs on my Levy's hup hup hup hup
I've been a fool I've been a fool...
I say hi there highline hello highway...
I've been a fool I've been a fool...
Gone gone gone gone gone gone
