Lot More of Me Leaving (Less of Me Coming Home) - Ruth Brown

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, huh

I’ve got news for you, and I’ve still got a lot of leaving 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 hearts

So you won’t fall for me, ya know what’s good for you

'Cause I still got a lot of leaving 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 leaving left to do

Girl, you look like you might be an Angel, so I won’t lie

I could love you like the Devil, you wanted me to tonight

And we could talk about forever, for a day or two

But I still got a lot of leaving 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

And be sure that you can turn me loose

'Cause I still got a lot of leaving left to do

Yeah, I still got a lot of leaving left to do
