The Way I Wanna Go

(album: The Way I Wanna Go - 2021)

I'm a strange kind of thunder
I'm a different kind of storm
Hellbent and hardheaded since the day that I was born
No, there's no water deep enough to drown the fire inside
It might make it hard to love me
But I hope I'm worth the ride

And I'll go on
Like a stone
I'll be holding ground right here
But when I'm gone

Lay me down with sunburn on my face
Talk about how I never act my age
Still writing when they try to turn the page
That's the way I wanna go
Out swinging with nothing left to prove
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots
And a kiss from lips I know
That's the way I wanna go

I got scars across my knuckles
Just like my old man's
A couple scuffs on my belt buckle
From the last time that I danced
Just wanna know I worked and tried enough
I told the truth, I cried enough
Spoke my mind and laughed enough, but when enough's enough

Lay me down with sun burn on my face
Talk about how I never act my age
Still writing when they try to turn the page
That's the way I wanna go
Out swinging with nothing left to prove
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots
And a kiss from lips I know
That's the way I wanna go

And I'll go on
Like a song
That you smile and sing along with every time that it comes on
And it goes

Lay me down with sunburn on my face
Talk about how I never act my age
Still writing when they try to turn the page
That's the way I wanna go
Out swinging with nothing left to prove
A leather jacket and fresh dirt on my boots
And a kiss from lips I know
That's the way I wanna go
That's the way I wanna go
That's the way I wanna go
That's the way I wanna go

Yeah, that's the way I wanna go
Yeah
Yeah, that's the way I wanna go
That's the way, the way I wanna go
