[English]

She gonna take the runnin' right out of these boots

She gonna tell her mama 'bout someone new

And drop little hints 'bout a front door key

Park her car where the truck used to be

Yeah, she gonna take the runnin' right out of these boots

And I'm gonna let her

To keep on makin' this life of mine a little better

Showin' me all about love right down to the letter

So if she wants to think I'm thinkin' 'bout forever

I'm gonna let her

She gonna leave her earrings by the sink

She gonna steal my kiss, my heart, my drink

She gonna sleep with my t-shirt on

Get me missin' her when she's gone

Yeah, she gonna leave her earrings by the sink

And I'm gonna let her

To keep on makin' this life of mine a little better

Showin' me all about love right down to the letter

So if she wants to think I'm thinkin' 'bout forever

I'm gonna let her

Mm, yeah, oh, yeah

She'll wanna drive my truck, she'll wanna meet my friends

She'll wanna change a thousand things on a list that never ends

And I'm gonna let her

To keep on makin' my days and nights a little better

Might change her last name right down to the letter

So if she wants to think I'm thinkin' 'bout forever

Well, I'm gonna let her

Yeah, I'm gonna let her
