A Good Man - Emerson Drive

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, neighbour and a friend 
He was a good man! 

I 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 tales 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, neighbour 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, neighbour and a friend 
He was a good man… 

Yaaaaa…I wanna be a good man…a father, a brother, a neighbour, and a friend 
I wanna be a good man!
