Hell of a Way to Go (Live)

[Intro]
So, uh, y'all wanna hear a brand new song I ain't ever played before?
Good news is y'all won't know if I screw it up
I wrote this song a while back, uh
My granddad used to say, "That'd be a hell of a way to go"
Talkin' 'bout doin' a lot of things whether it be fishin' or watchin' Alabama play or whatever it was and
I wrote this song thinkin' about that
I just happened to cut it a couple weeks ago, we're gonna put it out, I imagine, but
That's what this song's called, be the first time I play it, so
Wish me luck

[Verse 1]
Me and him was beatin' them banks
Talkin' life and death, Fords and Chevrolets
Said, "Son, we've got it made
Got a livewеll full, little sunshine, a little shadе"
Said I don't wanna go today
But if my time comes and if I had it my way

[Chorus]
Be sittin' on a lake like glass
Catchin' largemouth bass, just my boy and me
Or maybe on a fifty-yard line
Watchin' Alabama beat the hell out of Tennessee
Or maybe on a front porch swing
Somethin' cold to drink, Mama's hand to hold
And a song on the radio
Would be a hell of a way to go

[Verse 2]
I remember thinkin' that day
I couldn't picture him goin' any other way
Someday, when I get old
I can only hope that when the good Lord calls me home

[Chorus]
I'm sittin' on a lake like glass
Catchin' largemouth bass, just my boy and me
Or maybe on a fifty-yard line
Watchin' Alabama beat the hell out of Tennessee
Or maybe on a front porch swing
Somethin' cold to drink, Mama's hand to hold
A song on the radio
Would be a hell of a way to go
That would be a hell of a way to go

[Bridge]
No, he wasn't out fishin' on the day he died
But I bet about the time he closed his eyes

[Chorus]
Sittin' on a lake like glass
Catchin' largemouth bass, just waitin' on me
Or maybe on a fifty-yard line
Watchin' Alabama beat the shit out of Tennessee
Or maybe on a front porch swing
Somethin' cold to drink, Mama's hand to hold
And a song on the radio
Yeah, it might be this song on the radio
Would be a hell of a way to go
That would be a hell of a way to go
