The Be Be King

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 (please), let me be (ooh), oh

I wanna be
The smile on your face when you like what you see when you're looking in the 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 still alive after lightning 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 (ay), 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 (please), let me be (please), 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 in the 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 (alright) 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 (ay), oh

I wanna be (huh, good God)
I wanna be (good God)
I wanna be
I wanna be (huh)
