Goin’ To

Johnny's workin' overtime tonight
"Kiss the kids for me", he tells his wife
Then he promises their picture
Says, "I'll make it up to you"
And he tells himself, someday I'm goin' to

Goin' to
Tell them bedtime stories
Goin' to
Hold her when she cries
Maybe tomorrow
He'll make good on his promise
He's goin' to
It's just a matter of time

Johnny grew up singin' in the choir
But somewhere along the way
Johnny lost the fire
He promised he'd get back in church
There's really no excuse
If he ever gets caught up, he's goin' to

Goin' to
Sing "Amazing Grace"
Goin' to
Live the dedicated life
Maybe this Sunday
He'll make a promise a prayer
He's goin' to
Just needs a little more time

Johnny ran out of promises last night
They took his money
Then they took his life
And Johnny lay there prayin'
"Lord, it's just me and You"
Then he thought of all the things
He was goin' to

Goin' to
He had the best intentions
Goin' to
He was too young to die
Maybe tomorrow
We'll understand better
He was goin' to
But Johnny ran out of time
He was goin' to
But Johnny ran out of time
