Emerson Drive - Good Man lyrics

I don't need a whole lotta money, but I won'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 lying in my bed kinda understated my dreams aren't that complicated.

CHORUS

I want to 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, a brother, a neighbor, and a friend... he was a good man."

I used to dream of being a rockstar and seeing the world in style, used to dream of having a fast car and driving that miracle mile. But I've heard tell those roads aren't paved in gold, they're full of pot holes and empty souls who never learned love is something you gotta earn.

CHORUS

When I'm gone I want to leave a legacy of love and laughs and honesty behind me, behind me

CHORUS

Yeah, I wanna be a good man. A father, a brother, a neighbor, and a friend, I wanna be a good man.
