Kickin' And Screamin' Lyrics

 (Tony Arata) 

 Well, I don't know what my uncle did 
 But he must have done it right 
 They sure strung him up one Saturday night 
 He had spent his whole life fussin' 
 Would have spent his last breath cussin' 
 'Til he realized the deal was really done 
 He started screamin' "hallelujah" 
 Tryin' to make his peace with everyone 

 Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin' 
 Just like he came in 
 He was kickin' and screamin', darlin' 
 Right to the bitter end 
 Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup 
 And go out hollerin' whoa 
 Lord, we never want to be here 
 Sure don't ever want to go 

 Well, I could hear those church bells ringin' 
 To my best friend I was clingin' 
 Screamin' "If you love me brother don't let me go" 
 Well then the whole scene was repeated 
 Two years later I begged and pleaded 
 Screamin' "If you love me, honey, 
 Now you know you wouldn't want to let me go" 
 No, I didn't want to do it 
 But I sure don't want to see it come undone 

 Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin' 
 Just like I came in 
 I was kickin' and screamin', darlin' 
 Right to the bitter end 
 Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup 
 And go out hollerin' whoa 
 Lord, we never want to be here 
 Sure don't ever want to go 

 Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin' 
 Just like I came in 
 I was kickin' and screamin', darlin' 
 Right to the bitter end 
 Ain't it funny how we come in kickin' giddyup 
 And go out hollerin' whoa 
 Seems, we never want to be here 
 Sure don't ever want to go
