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 have spent his last breath cussin'   'Til he realized the deal was really done   He started screamin' "hallelujah"   Tryin' to make his peace with everyone   Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin'   Just like he came in   He was kickin' and 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   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   Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin'   Just like I came in   I was kickin' and 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   Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin'   Just like I came in   I was kickin' and 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
