Ain't The Way I Wanna Go Out Lyrics

Ol' Jimmy, a real hard worker Loadin' trucks at the Feed and Save Well-liked, a really nice fella And that's why it's hard to believe
One day, two counties over He got caught with another man's wife Shots fired, smoke cleared Her husband took Jimmy's life
In an instant all the good stuff He'd ever done was all gone Now everybody just remembers The one thing that he did wrong
You can have it all an' in the twinklin' of an eye It can all turn around If I live to roam this earth another hundred years Without 20 seconds from right now That ain't the way that I wanna go out
Rob Jenkins, sittin' on the back pew Head bowed an' his eyes closed Preacher talkin' 'bout gettin' to heaven Said, "Brother would you like to go?"
White knuckles holdin' his Hymnal While the choir sang Amazing Grace He stands up, full of conviction Turns 'round an' runs out of that place
Off in his truck, says to himself "Next Sunday, I'm a-gonna get saved" Runs a red light, hit broadside An' next Sunday is way too late
You can have it all an' in the twinklin' of an eye It can all turn around If I live to roam this earth another hundred years Without 20 seconds from right now That ain't the way that I wanna go out
I'm gonna do right an' make sure I ask forgiveness before I go I'm gonna take time 'cause it's a fine line Between here an' "You never know"
You can have it all an' in the twinklin' of an eye It can all turn around If I live to roam this earth another hundred years Without 20 seconds from right now That ain't the way that I wanna go out
That ain't the way that I wanna go out No, I don't wanna go out
