İt's Not Supposed To Go Like That
Tommy found his daddy's gunAnd Joey had never seen oneReal cowboy all dressed upAs he held it in his handSaid, "You be good and I'll be bad"Then he pulled the trigger backStopped little Tommy in his tracksAnd said, "Get up, man"People came from miles to say goodbyeTo the Wilson's youngest sonHis innocent life had just begun
[CHORUS]
It's not supposed to go like thatIt's not intended to end that wayLife is a journey constantly turningDown an unknown pathBut it's not supposed to go like that
Jimmy had his daddy's carAnd the keys to Jenny's heartA fifth of whiskey on the floorboardAlmost goneHavin' the time of their lifeHad only one thing on their mindNever saw the flashin' lightsOr the train comin' onNow there's a wreath and two small crossesOn the right side of the roadReminders of a love that won't grow
[REPEAT CHORUS]
I wonder if guardian angels cryWhen they see it all played outAnd as they stand with their hands tiedOh, do they cry out loud
It's not suppose to go like thatNo, it's not supposed to go like thatNo, it's not supposed to go like thatNo, it's not supposed to go like thatNo, it's not supposed, it's not supposed to go like thatNo, no, no, it's not supposed to go like that
