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

It´s not supposed to go like that
It´s 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
Havin´ the time of their life
Had only one thing on their mind
Never saw the flashin´ lights
Or 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

It´s not supposed to go like that
It´s 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

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

It´s not suppose to go like that
No, it´s not supposed to go like that
No, it´s not supposed to go like that
No, it´s not supposed to go like that
No, it´s not supposed, it´s not supposed to go like that
No, no, no, it´s not supposed to go like that
