My Life

I want to know

If I walk down a certain road, it was my choice

And I want to know

If I had something to say, I raised my voice

I don't wanna wake up a little too late

And say I could've done this or I should've done that

When I close my eyes at night

I wanna know I'm doing the best I can

When I'm sittin' there

In my rocking chair, looking at my life

I hope to God I would've done

Something good with my life

At the end of the day, I can only pray

That I can look back and say

I lived my life, oh, I lived my life

Don't want to take my father's father's path

I gotta make my own

Don't want my epitaph to read

"Wish they could've known me"

I don't want that carved in stone

I want to leave this place

With a smile on my face

Knowing what's in my heart

Didn't just stay in my heart

And whatever heaven gave me

I want to know I gave it all back

When I'm sittin' there

In my rocking chair, looking at my life

I hope to God I would've done

Something good with my life

At the end of the day, I can only pray

That I can look back and say

I lived my life, oh, I lived my life

When I'm sittin' there

In my rocking chair, looking at my life

I hope to God I would've done

Something good with my life

At the end of the day, I can only pray

That I can look back and say

I lived my life, oh, I lived my life

Well, I want to be an open book

Say I gave more than I took

My life, I lived my life, I lived my life
