How I'm Going Out

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

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

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

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

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

Sing 'em one more song and lay this guitar down

That's how I'm going out

That's how I'm going out

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'
