"Who I Don't Wanna Be" lyrics
"Who I Don't Wanna Be"
Those neon lights on Broadway don't shine as bright as you think
Hell done played the jukebox, I drank the whiskey till my ears rang
Been staying out past midnight, burning at both ends
Waiting for a turnaround or just looking for a win
It is a phone call from a long haul
The dark side of the road
Wasted till you're too far gone
Hands off of the controls
This way that I've been living
Tearing down a dream
Know it won't take too long to see
Who I don't wanna be
I got people praying 'bout me and praying don't come cheap
That highway billboard sign says, "Jesus still loves me"
If I could get to town by Monday and fix just what went wrong
She might still be mine or she might just move on
And it'll be a phone call from a long haul
The dark side of the road
Wasted till you're too far gone
Hands off of the controls
This way that I've been living
Tearing down a dream
I know it won't take too long to see
Who I don't wanna be
No, I don't wanna be
Yeah
And it'll be a phone call from a long haul
Dark side of the road
Wasted till you're too far gone
Hands off of the controls
And this way that I've been living
Tearing down a dream
I know it won't take too long to see
Who I don't wanna be
Who I don't wanna be
It won't take long to see

Those blinds, yeah, lets just keep them closed
