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 Wilsons 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 Bflat Am G But its not supposed to go like that REPEAT FIRST PART OF INTRO Jimmy had his daddys car And the keys to Jennys heart A 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 theres a wreath and two small crosses On the right side of the road Reminders of a love that wont grow REPEAT CHORUS 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 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 Bflat Am G No no no its not supposed to go like that
