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, let me be, oh
I wanna be
The smile on your face when you like, what you see when you're looking 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 after lightening 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
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
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 and a 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, 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
I wanna be
I wanna be
I wanna be
