Be Good Until Then

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
