A Good Man

I don't need a whole lot of money

But I wouldn't turn a lottery down

I just need a little green in my pocket

So I can buy my buddies a round

All I want is a place to lay my head

With the woman I love lyin' in my bed

Kind of understated

My dreams aren't that complicated

I wanna be the one

When all is said and done

Who lived a good life, loved a good wife

And always helped someone in trouble

On the day they lay me down

I want everyone to gather 'round

And say, 'He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend

He was a good man'

Used to dream of being a rock star

And seein' the world in style

Used to dream of havin' a fast car

And driving that miracle mile

But I've heard tell those streets aren't paved in gold

They're full of pot holes and empty souls

Who never learn

Love is something you gotta earn

I wanna be the one

When all is said and done

Who lived a good life, loved a good wife

And always helped someone in trouble

On the day they lay me down

Want everyone to gather 'round

And say, 'He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend

He was a good man'

When I'm gone, I wanna leave a legacy

Of love and laughs and honesty behind me, behind me

I wanna be the one

When all is said and done

Who lived a good life, loved a good wife

And always helped someone in trouble

On the day they lay me down

Want everyone to gather 'round

And say, 'He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend

He was a good man'

Yeah, I wanna be a good man

A father, a brother, a neighbor and a friend

I wanna be a good man
