How I'm Going Out

[Verse 1] Someday somebody's gonna stop and look Or scratch their head and say 'What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name' The story goes I told one last joke, bum one more smoke And then paid my tab and just disappeared one day [Pre-Chorus] I've kicked around this old town long enough to see The one's who left to soon And the ones who didn't know when to leave [Chorus] And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell Be thankful for the friends I've made The hungry years, the glory days Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down That's how I'm going out [Verse 2] When I go I'll be another page torn away, a memory made Another ghost on music road But I can say I gave it hell, I rang the bell But I'll know when there's no more dreams to chase [Chorus] And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell Be thankful for the friends I've made The hungry years, the glory days Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down That's how I'm going out That's how I'm going out And when it's my turn to jump off this carousel I'm gonna ride on that white horse and run like hell No slowing down, no looking back Let the credits roll and fade to black Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down Give 'em one more song and lay this guitar down That's how I'm going out [Outro] Someday somebody's gonna stop and look Or scratch their head and say 'What happened to him? It's been a while since I heard that name'
