Ain T The Way I Wanna Go lyrics

Ol` Jimmy, a real hard worker, loadin` trucks at the Feed and Save.
Well-liked, a really nice fella: that`s why it`s hard to believe.
One day, two counties over, he got caught with another man`s wife.
Shots fired, smoke cleared: her husband took Jimmy`s life.
In an instant, all the good stuff he`d ever done was all gone.
Now everybody just remembers the one thing that he did wrong.

You can have it all an` in the twinklin` of an eye,
It can all turn around.
If I live to roam this earth another hundred years,
Without 20 seconds from right now,
That ain`t the way that I wanna go out.

Rob Jenkins, sittin` on the back pew: head bowed an` his eyes closed.
Preacher talkin` `bout gettin` to Heaven, said: "Brother would you like to go?"
White knuckles holdin` his Hymnal, while the choir sang Amazing Grace.
He stands up, full of conviction: turns `round an` runs out of that place.
Off in his truck, says to himself: "Next Sunday, I`m a-gonna get saved."
Runs a red light, hit broadside an` next Sunday is way too late.

You can have it all an` in the twinklin` of an eye,
It can all turn around.
If I live to roam this earth another hundred years,
Without 20 seconds from right now,
That ain`t the way that I wanna go out.

I`m gonna do right, an` make sure I ask forgiveness before I go:
I`m gonna take time, `cause it`s a fine line,
Between here an` "You never know."

You can have it all an` in the twinklin` of an eye,
It can all turn around.
If I live to roam this earth another hundred years,
Without 20 seconds from right now,
That ain`t the way that I wanna go out.
That ain`t the way that I wanna go out.
No I don`t wanna go out.
