Kickin' and Screamin'
Written by - Tony Arata
From - In Pieces
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 wanna be here
Sure don't ever wanna go

Take me for example

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 he came in
Whoa, I was kickin' and screamin', baby
Right to the bitter end
Ain't it funny how we come in kickin', giddyup
And go out hollerin', 'Whoa'
Lord, we never wanna be here
Sure don't ever wanna go

Yeah, I was kickin' and screamin'
Just like he came in
Whoa, 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 wanna be here
Sure don't ever wanna go

No, we never wanna be here
Sure don't ever wanna go
