It's Not Supposed To Go Like That

Tommy found his daddy's gun, and Joey, he'd never seen one

Real cowboy all dressed up, as he held it in his hand

Said, "You be good, and I'll be bad," then he pulled the trigger back

Stopped little Tommy in his tracks, and said, "Get up, man"

People came from miles to say goodbye

To the Wilson's youngest son

His innocent life had just begun

It's not supposed to go like that

It's not intended to end that way

Life is a journey constantly turning

Down an unknown path

But it's not supposed to go like that

Jimmy had his daddy's car

And the keys to Jenny's heart

Fifth of whiskey on the floorboard, almost gone

Havin' the time of their life, had only one thing on their mind

Never saw the flashin' lights or the train comin' on

Now there's a wreath and two small crosses

On the right side of the road

Reminders of a love that won't grow

It's not supposed to go like that

It's not intended to end that way

Oh, life is a journey constantly turning

Down an unknown path

But it's not supposed to go like that

I wonder if guardian angels cry

When they see it all played out

And as they stand with their hands tied

Oh, do they cry out loud?

It's not supposed to go like that

No, it's not supposed to go like that

No, it's not supposed to go like that

No, it's not supposed to go like that (not supposed to go)

No, it's not supposed, it's not supposed to go like that

No, no, no, it's not supposed to go like that
