Now some body else can wake you in the morning, tell you that you look the most,
drink the coffee made the night before, eat your burnt -up toast, I took all that I can take, I'm looking for a new home.
I've been a long time a -leaving,
but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, and somebody else can walk your old
dog and put the cat out late at night
Practice dodging them pots and
pans every time you wanna fight
Well, it's sweet to be remembered
by a letter or a telephone
I've been a long time a -leavin',
but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, I remember you used to
say that you loved me so
And all the little things you did for me,
but that was long ago
But now you've changed your mind, it seems,
you lay around in your cussin' moan
I've been a long time a -leaving,
but now I'm finally gone
Yeah, I remember you used to
say that you loved me so
And all the little things you used to do for me,
but that was long ago
Cause now you've changed your mind,
it seems you lay around and you cuss and moan
I've been a long time a -leaving,
but now I'm finally gone
I've been a long time a -leaving,
but now I'm finally gone
you
