How I Wanna Go - Joe Nichols

I used to think I’d go out with a bang,

On the back of a Harley, racin' a train,

Runnin' with bulls over in Spain with the crazies.

I’ve never been one to back down from a dare

Jumpin' through fire or fallin' through air

It didn’t matter, cause I didn’t care until lately.

Now I’ll tell you how I wanna go,

Under a sail with my feet on the rail of a boat,

Takin' it nice and slow,

Ridin' the tide with you right by my side sittin' close.

With a Cuban cigar and my old guitar

Listening to you sing along to a song I just wrote

Missin' some notes.

That’s how I wanna go.

When daddy died, he was just forty-eight

I can just see him and those pearly gates

Sayin', «I kinda figured, I’da been late to this party.»

And nobody knows how their life’s gonna end,

They don’t know where it will happen or when

All I can say, is when I met you, mine started.

Now I’ll tell you how I wanna go,

Under a sail with my feet on the rail of a boat,

Takin' it nice and slow,

Ridin' the tide with you right by my side sittin' close.

With a Cuban cigar, a beat up guitar

Listening to you sing along with a song I just wrote

Missin' the notes.

That’s how I wanna go.

Takin' it nice and slow,

Ridin' the tide with you right by my side sittin' close.

With a Cuban cigar, a beat up guitar

Listening to you harmonize on a song I just wrote

Every note.

That’s how I wanna go.
