Lyrics

[Chorus] All of my life I've tried to be A good man, can't you see? My mother told me, "Be kind Be true, be cool" [Verse 1] There's a weight on my chest And it won't let me rest There's things I regret And words I haven't said I hope there's still time To find peace of mind Every day of my life I'm trying to do what's right [Pre-Chorus] When they lay my body down And I'm six feet in the ground With my family standing 'round I hope they will be proud [Chorus] All of my life I've tried to be A good man, can't you see? My mother told me, "Be kind Be true, be cool" Well there's pain and there's glory In everybody's story All of my life, life, life All of my life, life, life [Verse 2] I found my enemy In the mirror looking back at me It's not the man I want to be That ain't me, that ain't me [Pre-Chorus] When they lay my body down And I'm six feet in the ground With my family standing 'round I hope they will be proud [Chorus] All of my life I've tried to be A good man, can't you see? My mother told me, "Be kind Be true, be cool" Well there's pain and there's glory In everybody's story All of my life, life, life All of my life, life, life [Bridge] When I'm gone forever Let me leave a trace Something to remember An ounce of grace When I'm gone forever Let me leave a trace Something to remember An ounce of grace [Chorus] All of my life I've tried to be A good man, can't you see? My mother told me, "Be kind Be true, be cool" Well there's pain and there's glory In everybody's story All of my life, life, life All of my life, life, life
