The Way I Wanna Go

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 writin' when they try to turn the page

That's the way I wanna go

Out swingin' with nothin' 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 writin' when they try to turn the page

That's the way I wanna go

Out swingin' with nothin' 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, yeah

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 writin' when they try to turn the page

That's the way I wanna go

Out swingin' with nothin' 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

Let her go, boys

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
