Hell Of A Way To Go

Me and him was beatin′ them banks Talkin' life and death, Fords and Chevrolets Said, "Son, we got it made" "Got a live well full, little sunshine a little shade" I ain′t ready to go today But when my time comes and if I had it my way I'd be sittin' on a lake like glass Catchin′ Largemouth Bass Just my boy and me Or maybe on a fifty-yard line Watchin′ Alabama whoop up on Tennessee Or maybe on a front porch swing Somethin' cold to drink, your momma′s hand to hold And a song on a radio, would be a hell of a way to go I remember thinkin' that day I couldn′t picture him goin' any other way Some day when I get old I can only hope, when the good Lord calls me home I′d be sittin' on a lake like glass Catchin' Largemouth Bass Just my boy and me Or maybe on a fifty-yard line Watchin′ Alabama whoop up on Tennessee Or maybe on a front porch swing Somethin′ cold to drink, my baby's hand to hold And a song on a radio, would be a hell of a way to go That would be a hell of a way to go No, he wasn′t out fishin' on the day he died But I bet about the time he closed his eyes He was sittin′ on a lake like glass Catchin' Largemouth Bass Just awaitin′ on me Or maybe on a fifty-yard line Watchin' 'Bama beat the hell out of Tennessee Or maybe on a front porch swing Somethin′ cold to drink, your momma′s hand to hold And a song on a radio, that's a hell of a way to go Yeah, that′s a hell of a way to go
