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    [CHORUS]    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    [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    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
