the way i used to - Kelsea Ballerini

When I was 15, I had running back dreams But never did run too far Thought I was gonna be number three one day 'Til I wrecked my old man's car I almost finished college but I ain't cut from that cloth Used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not I'm just a North Carolina good ol' boy Boys, I ain't got no choice I pick a little guitar in the evenin' Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season I couldn't be anybody but me, even if I tried I used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not I used to have a Tennessee Bill Dance hat But barely ever got 'em in the boat I used to wanna hit 'em like Chipper did But I swung it just a little too slow Yeah, these days I don't wanna be anybody but me I used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not I'm just an North Carolina good ol' boy Boys, I ain't got no choice I pick a little guitar in the evenin' Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season I couldn't be anybody but me, even if I tried I used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not I'm just an North Carolina good ol' boy Boys, I ain't got no choice I pick a little guitar in the evenin' Wear Mossy Oak outta deer season I couldn't be anybody but me, even if I tried I used to wish I was, but I'm glad I'm not Yeah, I'm glad I'm not

I used to be a sailor Who sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free He wrote his epitaph He wrote his eulogy It said, "I think that I can die now For my true love won't come for me" Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free I used to be a sailor Who sailed across the seas But now I'm just an island Since they took my boat away from me Oh no I don't like being stationary, no, no, no, no I like the rocky wavy motions of the sea I sit and rock behind these padded walls Hoping one day they'll fall And set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free Set me free, set me free, set me free

I try to hit the brakes when I think of better days But I don't have the willpower And I wish that I could change the way you think of me Why'd our love have to go sour? 'Cause letting you go has been takin' its toll And I ain't getting any stronger No good at goodbyes, feel lonely tonight And I can't take it any longer Oh, won't you hold me like you used to? You're no good for me, but part of me's still into you Oh, when you hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Wish I could drown the parts you burned inside my heart But puttin' out a fire ain't easy And I've tried to heal my space, forget and walk away I've tried my hardest, believe me 'Cause letting you go has been takin' its toll And I ain't getting any stronger No good at goodbyes, feel lonely tonight And I can't take it any longer Oh, won't you hold me like you used to? You're no good for me, but part of me's still into you Oh, when you hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Don't need to lust forever, don't mean we're back together Just wanna feel like Heaven one more time So hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum So won't you hold me like you used to? You're no good for me, but part of me's still into you Oh, when you hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Don't need to lust forever, don't mean we're back together Just wanna feel like Heaven one more time So hold me, there's nothing left to lose 'Cause there's a part of me that loves you like I used to do Love you like I- da-rum-dum-dum, rum-dum-dum
