[Verse 1]
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 fussin', would've spent his last breath cussin'
'Til he realized the deal was really done
He started screamin', "Hallelujah", tryin' to make his peace with everyone

[Chorus]
Yeah, he was kickin' and a-screamin'
Just like he came in
He was kickin' and a-screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin', "Whoa!"
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go

Now take me for example

[Verse 2]
Well, I could hear those church bells ringin', to my best friend I was clingin'
Screamin', "If you love me, brother, don't let me go"
Well then the whole scene was repeated, two years later I begged and pleaded
Screamin', "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
[Chorus]
Yeah, I was kickin' and a-screamin'
Just like I came in
Whoa, I was kickin' and a-screamin', baby
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin', "Whoa!"
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Yeah, I was kickin' and a-screamin'
Just like I came in
Yeah, I was kickin' and a-screamin', darlin'
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup
And go out hollerin', "Whoa!"
Seems we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go

[Outro]
Naw, we never want to be here
Sure don't ever want to go
