Introduction
About the Song
When Ronnie Dunn steps up to the microphone, you know you’re in for more than just a song — you’re in for a story, a memory, and a piece of his heart. And nowhere is that more evident than in “I Wanna Love Like That Again,” a standout track from his 2016 solo album Tattooed Heart that captures the longing for a love that once was, and the hope of finding that spark again.
This song, with its gently rolling rhythm and honest, unvarnished lyrics, speaks to the kind of love that marks a lifetime — the type that leaves a lasting imprint on the soul. Ronnie’s warm, slightly weathered voice carries every note with sincerity, delivering each line as if he’s lived it himself. It’s not just about romance; it’s about commitment, trust, and the way love can change us — and stay with us — long after the initial fire has faded.
Musically, “I Wanna Love Like That Again” is classic Dunn: a seamless blend of traditional country sounds and contemporary polish. The production is simple yet evocative, allowing the lyrics and Ronnie’s heartfelt delivery to take center stage. There’s a quiet strength here, a reminder that real love isn’t always loud or flashy — sometimes it’s the small gestures, the everyday moments, that mean the most.
In an album that explores themes of identity, legacy, and the roads we travel, this song stands out as a gentle reminder of what we all seek: to love deeply, honestly, and fearlessly. Ronnie Dunn’s “I Wanna Love Like That Again” is more than a melody — it’s a wish, a memory, and a promise that some loves, once found, never truly fade.

Lyrics
A whiskey haze in the pale smoke, dancin’ through your hair
Soft light of the afterglow is, lightnin’ in the air
Rolled up, took a slow breath, lit a cigarette
I can’t say I know what that was but it was, good as it gets
It’s like the, song plays, and the words just rhyme
Right place, right time
One of those things that just kinda happens
When the blind lead the blind
It don’t matter, the whys, the whens
I wanna love like that again
You looked at me with that come on smile, [?] baby I want you [?]
Lead me off into the great unknown, oh what a heart
Hear in the noise of the quiet still, the crazy mystery
Feelin’ baby what it’s like to feel, what you just did to me
It’s like the, song plays, and the words just rhyme
Right place, the right time
One of those things that just kinda happens
When the blind lead the blind
It don’t matter, the whys, the whens
I wanna love like that again
It’s like the, song plays, and the words just rhyme
Right place, the right time
One of those things that just kinda happens
When the blind go leadin’ the blind
It don’t matter, the whys, the whens
I wanna love like that again
Love like that again
