[English]

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 gonna settle down

I 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

you know what's good for you

'cause I still got a lot of leavin'

left to do

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 lot of leavin' left to do
