Countrified
Tune 1/2 step down
Intro: D G A G
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
I want to be the one, when all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
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 bein’ a rock star
And seein’ the world in style
Used to dream of havin’ a fast car
And drivin’ 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 learn, love is something you gotta earn
I want to be the one, when all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
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
When I’m gone I want to leave a legacy
Of love and laughs and honesty behind me
Behind me
I want to be the one, when all is said and done
Who lived a good life, loved a good wife
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
Repeat D G A G (x3) over ad-lib, end on D
