What A Way To Go Lyrics - Singles - Halfway To New York

WHAT A WAY TO GO (Burkey/ oReilly) 

Eight oclock with a silhouette cigarette 

Catching up with the bottom of the bottle 

Thinking back to the day we met, soaking wet 

Opened up like a Mustang at full throttle 

Tied the knot with a Vegas-theme at 23 

All I got was another day in court 

People said it was a big mistake for me to make 

Taking bets and everybodys going short 

but you know I couldnt let you go 

To the sky and far beyond 

Riding high with a Page 3 blonde 

When the cracks appeared everyone else cheered 

But I was left lying low 

And every morning I feel cold 

But oh what a way to go 

Late December I saw something new it wasnt you 

I cant remember what you did or what you said 

Little things that got inside of me finally 

Living life with a revolver at my head 

But you know I couldnt let you go 

To the sky and far beyond 

Riding high with a Page 3 blonde 

When the cracks appeared everyone else cheered 

But I was left lying low 

And every morning I feel cold 

But oh what a way to go 

Lifted off with no way down 

Cutting off the roots of me in this same old town 

As we got up you turned around 

And kicked me to the ground 

Eight oclock with a silhouette cigarette 

Catching up with the bottom of the bottle 

To the sky and far beyond 

Riding high with a Page 3 blonde 

When the cracks appeared everyone else cheered 

But I was left lying low 

And every morning I feel cold 

From every lie you ever sold 

But oh what a lovely way to go
