WHAT A WAY TO GO (Burkey/ oReilly) Eight oclock with a silhouette cigarette Catching up with the bottom of the bottle Thinking back to the day we met, soaking wet Opened up like a Mustang at full throttle Tied the knot with a Vegas-theme at 23 All I got was another day in court People said it was a big mistake for me to make Taking bets and everybodys going short but you know I couldnt let you go To the sky and far beyond Riding high with a Page 3 blonde When the cracks appeared everyone else cheered But I was left lying low And every morning I feel cold But oh what a way to go Late December I saw something new it wasnt you I cant remember what you did or what you said Little things that got inside of me finally
Living life with a revolver at my head But you know I couldnt let you go To the sky and far beyond Riding high with a Page 3 blonde When the cracks appeared everyone else cheered But I was left lying low And every morning I feel cold But oh what a way to go Lifted off with no way down Cutting off the roots of me in this same old town As we got up you turned around And kicked me to the ground Eight oclock with a silhouette cigarette Catching up with the bottom of the bottle To the sky and far beyond Riding high with a Page 3 blonde When the cracks appeared everyone else cheered But I was left lying low And every morning I feel cold From every lie you ever sold But oh what a lovely way to go
