Hell of a Way to Go (Live)

Lyrics

[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
