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
