Deric Ruttan - That\'s How I Wanna Go Out lyrics

rate me

<br>

The doctor said, "We've run out of options<br>

But we can stop the pain and help you sleep"<br>

That ol' man laughed, and slowly put his shirt on<br>

Said, "Son, dyin' here with you don't comfort me<br>

<br>

I'll turn 88 next Tuesday if the good Lord let's me tarry<br>

And I'll spend it on the front porch with my arm around my Mary<br>

I've learned a lot 'bout livin' but the only thing I'm sure about now<br>

Is I came into this world in the arms of a woman who loved me -<br>

And that's how I wanna go out<br>

That's how I wanna go out"<br>

<br>

He said, "I once backpacked across Europe<br>

With my buddies in the 2nd infantry<br>

Back when it was rainin' German bullets<br>

I never should have made it past nineteen<br>

But I lived to see an angel at the altar<br>

And lovin' her is the reason I'm alive<br>

Doc, it feels like I'm just gettin' started<br>

So sittin' here with you, I'm just wastin' time<br>

<br>

I'll turn 88 next Tuesday if the good Lord let's me tarry<br>

And I'll spend it on the front porch with my arm around my Mary<br>

I've learned a lot 'bout livin' but the only thing I'm sure about now<br>

Is I came into this world in the arms of a woman who loved me -<br>

And that's how I wanna go out<br>

That's how I wanna go out<br>

<br>

I've learned a lot 'bout livin' but the only thing I'm sure about now<br>

Is I came into this world in the arms of a woman who loved me -<br>

And that's how I wanna go out<br>

That's how I wanna go out<br>

That's how I wanna go out"<br>
