Tommy found his daddy's gun
Joey's never seen one
A real cowboy all grown up
As he held it in his hand
He said i'll be good and you be bad
Then he pulled the trigger back
Stopped little tommy in his tracks
Then 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
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
A fifth of whiskey on the floorboard
Almost gone
Having the time of their life
Both had one thing on their mind
They never seen the flashing lights
Or the train coming on
There's a wreath and two small crosses
On the side of the road
Reminders of a love that won't grow
B@i wonder if guardian angels cry
When they see god's plans play out
As they stand with their hands tied
Do they cry out loud
It's not supposed to go like that
It's not supposed to go like that
