Goin’ To

Lyrics

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
