Hell Of A Way To Go

[00:14.41] Me and him was beatin' them banks
[00:16.79] Talkin' life and death
[00:18.64] Fords and Chevrolets
[00:20.63] Said, "Son, we've got it made
[00:22.91] Got a life well full
[00:24.56] Little sunshine, a little shade"
[00:27.17] I ain't ready to go today
[00:29.42] But when my time comes and if I had it my way
[00:33.58] I'd be sittin' on a lake like glass
[00:36.02] Catchin' largemouth bass
[00:37.59] Just my boy and me
[00:40.20] Or maybe on a fifty-yard line
[00:42.25] Watchin' Alabama whoop up on Tennessee
[00:46.61] Or maybe on a front porch swing
[00:48.70] Somethin' cold to drink and mama's hand to hold
[00:53.36] And a song on a radio
[00:56.52] Would be a hell of a way to go
[01:05.60] I remember thinkin' that day
[01:08.64] I couldn't picture him goin' any other way
[01:11.98] Someday, when I get old
[01:14.39] I can only hope that when the good Lord calls me home
[01:18.35] I'd be sittin' on a lake like glass
[01:20.80] Catchin' largemouth bass
[01:22.39] Just my boy and me
[01:24.99] Or maybe on a fifty-yard line
[01:26.98] Watchin' Alabama whoop up on Tennessee
[01:31.39] Or maybe on a front porch swing
[01:33.46] Somethin' cold to drink, my baby's hand to hold
[01:38.23] And a song on a radio
[01:41.36] Would be a hell of a way to go
[01:47.52] That would be a hell of a way to go
[01:56.72] No, he wasn't out fishin' on the day he died
[01:59.95] But I bet about the time he closed his eyes
[02:03.16] He was sittin' on a lake like glass
[02:05.61] Catchin' largemouth bass
[02:07.18] Just awaitin' on me
[02:09.79] Or maybe on a fifty-yard line
[02:11.96] Watchin' 'Bama beat the hell outta Tennessee
[02:16.17] Or maybe on a front porch swing
[02:18.35] Somethin' cold to drink and mama's hand to hold
[02:22.99] And a song on a radio
[02:26.38] That's a hell of a way to go
[02:32.49] Yeah, that's a hell of a way to go
