[Verse 1]
My cold heart melted for a man
Who woke up with the sun way before I ever can
And all I wanted to do was ride shotgun
Tank full of petrol wherever you go
I'm gonna get you
The highway goes so quick
Nothing here but a couple of chicks

[Pre-Chorus]
Where you go, I wanna go first
And when you go, I'll be chasing you right behind the hearse

[Chorus]
A better life awaits me at Mandalay
I wanna see you there, I'm not far away
A better life awaits me at Mandalay
Wherever you go, I'm tailgating

[Post-Chorus]
A better life awaits me
And all I wanna do is take me
With a tank of petrol
Don't wanna look cool, don't need to feel special

[Verse 2]
I'm heading off, heading south, heading east
Break a couple chains and I break a couple leaks
I want the sand and I want the scene
But most of all, I want my honeys
[Chorus]
A better life awaits me at Mandalay
I'll meet you there and I'm not too far away
A better life awaits me at Mandalay
Wherever you go, I will tailgate

[Outro]
A better life awaits me
A better life awaits me at Mandalay
A better life awaits me
A better life awaits me (But you'll get there close)
