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
