"It's Not Supposed To Go Like That" Lyrics

Tommy found his daddy's gun
And Joey had 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...

(CHORUS)
Its not supposed to go like that.
Its not intended to end that way.
Life is a journey
Constantly turning down an unknown path.
But its 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.
Having the time of their life,
had only one thing on their mind.
Never saw the flashing lights
of 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.

(CHORUS)
Its not supposed to go like that.
Its not intended to end that way.
Oh, Life is a journey
Constantly turning down an unknown path.
But its not supposed to go like that.

I wonder if guardian angels cry
when they see it all play out.
And as they stand
with their hands tied,
Oh, do they cry out loud?

Its not supposed to go like that.
No, Its not supposed to go like that.
No, Its not supposed to go like that.
No, Its not supposed to go like that. (Not supposed to go...)

No, Its not supposed to go like that.
No, Its not supposed to go (sigh) like that.
