Fifth of whiskey on the floorboard
Constantly turnin' down an unknown path
But it's not supposed to go like that
I wonder if guardian angels cry
Never saw the flashin' lights
Now there's a wreath and two small crosses
Almost gone
It's not intended to end that way
As he held it in his hand
Life is a journey
Reminders of a love that won't grow
And the keys to Jenny's heart
Said, "You be good and I'll be bad"
Oh, do they cry out loud?
Not supposed to go
Jimmy had his daddy's car
Real cowboy all dressed up
Then he pulled the trigger back
Constantly turnin' down an unknown path
It's not intended to end that way
Well, no, it's not supposed
No, it's not supposed to go like that
Oh, life is a journey
It's not supposed to go like that
Had only one thing on their mind
When they see it all play out
It's not supposed to go like that
On the right side of the road
And as they stand with their hands tied
It's not supposed to go like that
No, it's not supposed to go like that
But it's not supposed to go like that
It's not supposed to go like that
His innocent life had just begun
Havin' the time of their life
Of the train comin' on
"Get up, man"
Stopped little Tommy in his tracks and said
People came from miles to say goodbye
No, it's not supposed to go like that
To the Wilsons' youngest son
