[Verse 1]
Well, I don't know what my uncle did
But he sure 'nough did it right
They sure strung him up
One Saturday night
He'd spent his whole life fussin'
But he spent his last breath cussin'
'Till he realised that the deal was really done
He started screamin' "Hallelujah"
Tryin' to make peace with everyone
You should've seen him
[Chorus]
A-kickin' and a-screamin'
Just like he came in
Yeah, kickin' and a-screamin'
All the way to the bitter end
Now ain't it funny how wе
Come in kickin' and giddyup
And go out hollerin' "whoa wo-wo-whoa"
We don't nеver want to be here
Yet we don't ever wanna go
[Pre-Verse 2]
Take me for example
[Verse 2]
Now I could hear them church bells ringin'
To my best man I was clingin', screamin'
"If you love me brother, don't let me go"
Yet then the whole scene was repeated
Two years later when I begged and pleaded
Sayin' "now come on darlin'
You don't wanna let me go"
I didn't wanna do it
But I sure don't wanna see it come undone
And there I was
[Chorus]
A-kickin' and a-screamin'
Just like I came in
Yeah, kickin' and a-screamin'
All the way to the bitter end
Now ain't it funny how we
Come in kickin' and giddyup
And go out hollerin' "whoa wo-wo-whoa"
We don't never want to be here
But damn we don't ever wanna go
[Harmonica solo]
[Guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Yeah, kickin' and a-screamin'
Just like I came in
Yeah, kickin' and a-screamin'
All the way to the bitter end
Now ain't it funny how we
Come in kickin' and giddyup
And go out hollerin' "whoa wo-wo-whoa"
We don't never want to be here
Yet we don't ever wanna go
We never want to be here
Yet we don't ever wanna go
