Well, I don't know what my uncle did
But he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one Saturday night
He had spent his whole life fussing
Would have spent his last breath cussing
Till he realized the deal was really done
He started screaming, hallelujah
Trying to make his peace with everyone
Yeah, he was kicking and screaming
Just like he came in
He was kicking and screaming, darling
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kicking giddy-up
And go out hollering whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Well, I could hear those church bells ringing
To my best friend I was clinging
Screaming "if you love me brother don't let me go"
Well then the whole scene was repeated
Two years later I begged and pleaded
Screaming, if you love me honey
Now you know you wouldn't want to let me go"
No, I didn't want to do it
But I sure don't want to see it come undone
Yeah, I was kicking and screaming
Just like I came in
I was kicking and screaming, darling
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kicking giddyup
And go out hollering whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
Yeah, I was kicking and screaming
Just like I came in
I was kicking and screaming, darling
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kicking giddyup
And go out hollering whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
