  • Always know the road you're riding on
    Always know the words to your baby's song
    Try to make the most of Friday nights when they come

    Maybe turn a stranger to a friend
    Never break a heart that's on the mend
    Never let the romance ever end like I've done

    Never judge a color of a skin
    Never judge a person by their kin
    Never follow leaders that begin behind some wall

    Always help your mom across the street
    Always wash your hands when you wanna eat
    Always keep em dirty enough to see where you came from

    And its OK to cry
    If you feel it comin on
    It'll let you know you're human in the end
    All these things will mean more when I'm gone
    Just be good until then

    Try to see the best inside the bad
    No matter how many drinks you had
    Never make a promise you'll regret come sunrise

    Try to rarely ever oversleep
    Always keep your ego at your feet
    Maybe try to practice what you preach once in a while

    It's OK to cry
    If you feel it comin on
    It'll let you know you're human in the end
    All these things will mean more when I'm gone
    Just be good until then

    Everybody loves a hero
    Not so much when they fall short so
    Try to keep your cape on underneath

    You don't have to try so hard
    To be the best. Just know you are
    And that's all that'll matter to me

    And its OK to cry
    If you feel it comin on
    It'll let you know you're human in the end
    All these things will mean more when I'm gone
    Just be good until then Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
