Well, i don't know what my uncle did

But he must have done it right

They sure strung him up one saturday night

He had spent his whole life fussin'

Would have spent his last breath cussin'

'til he realized the deal was really done

He started screamin' "hallelujah!"

Tryin' to make his peace with everyone



Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin'

Just like he came in

He was kickin' and screamin', darlin'

Right to the bitter end

Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddy-up

And go out hollerin' whoa

Lord, we never want to be here

Sure don't ever want to go.



Well, i could hear those church bells ringin'

To my best friend i was clingin'

Screamin' "if you love me brother don't let me go"

Well then the whole scene was repeated

Two years later i begged and pleaded

Screamin' "if you love me, honey,

Now you know you wouldn't want to let me go"

No, i didn't want to do it

But i sure don't want to see it come undone.



Yeah, i was kickin' and screamin'

Just like i came in

I was kickin' and screamin', darlin'

Right to the bitter end

Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup

And go out hollerin' whoa

Lord, we never want to be here

Sure don't ever want to go.



*repeat*
