These old boots still got a lot of ground They ain't covered yet There's at least another million miles Under these old bus treads So if you think I'm gonnna settle down I've got news for you I still got a lot of leavin' left to do And as long as there's a song Left in this old guitar This life I'm bound to lead Ain't for the faint of heart So you won't fall for me If you know what's good for you 'Cause I still got a lot of leavin' left to do I guess the Lord made me hard to handle So lovin' me might be a long shot gamble So before you go and turn me on Be sure that you can turn me loose 'Cause I still got a lot of leavin' left to do Girl, you look like you might be an angel So I won't lie I could love you like the devil If you wanted me to tonight And we could talk about forever for a day or two But I still got a lot of leavin' left to do I guess the Lord made me hard to handle So lovin' me might be a long shot gamble So before you go and turn me on Be sure that you can turn me loose 'Cause I still got a lot of leavin' left to do Yeah, I still got a leavin' left to do
