Emerson Drive - A Good Man lyrics

(Keith Follese/Adrienne Follese/Victoria Shaw) I don't need a whole lot of money But I wouldn't turn the 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 Chorus: 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 around and say He was a father, brother, neighbor and a friend He was a good man I used to dream of being a rock star 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 streets aren't paved in gold They're full of potholes and empty souls Who never learned Love is something you've gotta earn (Repeat chorus) When I'm gone, I want to leave a legacy Of love and laughs and honesty Behind me, behind me (Repeat chorus) Yeah, I wanna be a good man A father, a brother, a neighbor and a friend
