The Be Be King

Good God

I wanna be

Cheese grits and the pancake mix that'll get your day started in the morning

I wanna be

Sausage and eggs, split burnt on the belly, baby, just like you want 'em

I wanna be

Hot cup of coffee, let it simmer and steam, no cream, just black

I wanna be

The gas in your car to get you where you going and then enough to come back, yeah

I wanna be me, wild and free in something brand new

Be a friend, get up under your skin like a tattoo on you

Something, anything, everything, there's so many things that I wanna do

Let me be (please), let me be (ooh), oh

I wanna be

The smile on your face when you like what you see when you're looking in the mirror

I wanna be

The things that make you you, unique and just a little bit weirder

I wanna be

The confidence and the quiet storm still alive after lightning strike ya

I wanna be

The voice saying that I told you so when everybody wanna be just like ya

I wanna be me, wild and free in something brand new

Be a friend, get up under your skin like a tattoo on you

Something, anything, everything, there's so many things that I wanna do

Let me be, let me be, oh

I wanna be

The one with the gun that won't run, that jump right in front of the bullet

I wanna be

Standing right there with my hands in the air, and I'm daring them to pull it

I wanna be

Not compared to you, but to yesterday, now I wanna be a little stronger

I wanna be

'Cause I have already lived enough, and now I want you to live a little longer

I wanna be me (ay), wild and free in something brand new

Be a friend, get up under your skin like a tattoo on you

Something, anything, everything, there's so many things that I wanna do

Let me be (please), let me be (please), oh

I wanna be

A good-paying job when you work hard, with a little money in your pocket

I wanna be

The face with the big old smile around your neck in the heart-shaped locket

I wanna be

Your favorite song that you sing out loud when you're standing in the shower

I wanna be

And when the lights go out, I'm the generator to give you your power

I wanna be me, wild and free (alright) in something brand new

Be a friend, get up under your skin like a tattoo on you

Something, anything, everything, there's so many things that I wanna do

Let me be, let me be (ay), oh

I wanna be (huh, good God)

I wanna be (good God)

I wanna be

I wanna be (huh)
