How I Go

[Verse 1: Ryan Key] I could tell you the wildest of tales My friend the giant and traveling sails Tell you all the times that I failed The years all behind me, the stories exhaled [Shortened Chorus: Ryan Key] And I'm drying out, crying out This isn't how I go [Verse 2: Ryan Key] I could tell you of a man not so tall Who said life's a circus, and so we are small Tell you of a girl that I saw I froze in the moment and she changed it all [Chorus: Ryan Key and Natalie Maines] And I'm drying out, crying out This isn't how I go Hurry now, lay me down And let these waters flow, flow [Bridge: Ryan Key, Natalie Maines and both] Son, I am not everything you thought that I would be But every story I have told is part of me Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh [Verse 3: Ryan Key and Natalie Maines] And you keep the air in my lungs Floating along as a melody comes And my heart beats like timpani drums Keeping the time while a symphony strums [Chorus: Ryan Key, Natalie Maines and both] And I'm drying out, crying out This isn't how I go Hurry now, lay me down And let these waters flow Flow, flow Let it flow (Let it flow) Let it flow (Let it flow) [Outro: Ryan Key and Natalie Maines] Son, I am not everything you thought that I would be But every story I have told is part of me Son, I leave you now but you have so much more to do And every story I have told is part of you
