That's How I Wanna Go Out Lyrics - Singles - Deric Ruttan

The doctor said, "We've run out of options 

But we can stop the pain and help you sleep" 

That ol' man laughed, and slowly put his shirt on 

Said, "Son, dyin' here with you don't comfort me 

I'll turn 88 next Tuesday if the good Lord let's me tarry 

And I'll spend it on the front porch with my arm around my Mary 

I've learned a lot 'bout livin' but the only thing I'm sure about now 

Is I came into this world in the arms of a woman who loved me - 

And that's how I wanna go out 

That's how I wanna go out" 

He said, "I once backpacked across Europe 

With my buddies in the 2nd infantry 

Back when it was rainin' German bullets 

I never should have made it past nineteen 

But I lived to see an angel at the altar 

And lovin' her is the reason I'm alive 

Doc, it feels like I'm just gettin' started 

So sittin' here with you, I'm just wastin' time 

I'll turn 88 next Tuesday if the good Lord let's me tarry 

And I'll spend it on the front porch with my arm around my Mary 

I've learned a lot 'bout livin' but the only thing I'm sure about now 

Is I came into this world in the arms of a woman who loved me - 

And that's how I wanna go out 

That's how I wanna go out
