That's a good way to get a face full of calcium chloride! Remember, it's under pressure in there. Plus, just letting it run in the ground isn't good for anything growing in the area. The best thing to do is call your friendly neighborhood tractor tire guy and have him come pump it out. It's the safest, cleanest way to do it, plus he can suck the tube practically dry with his pump. It'll cost a few dollars, but how much will it cost to take the wife out for an apology dinner for burning the grass out of the front lawn? How much will the medical bills be when you get that face full of calcium chloride because you didn't realize it would come out under pressure? The RIGHT way to do it yourself is to jack the tire up and rotate it so the valve stem is on the TOP. There's always an air bubble at the top because you can't pump the tires completely full of fluid. CAREFULLY remove the valve core to release the pressure. Then rotate the tire so the valve stem is on the bottom and let it pi$$ out on the ground if you must... That'll get rid of most of it, but once the fluid level gets to the valve stem, it won't run out anymore. You can also get the garden hose adapter and pump it out yourself if you have a cheap transfer pump or an old washing machine pump.
