How They'll Remember Me
This house was built from timber my granddad cut back in '23
With a mule and a one-row plough, he cleared his field of dreams
He raised a son and daughter from what he grew in the ground
Hope I can hold my end up of the roots that he put down
He was a - a good man and he took a stand for what he believed
Reliable and old school, worked hard for the family
A true friend until the end, the way it oughta be
And I pray someday, that's how they'll remember me
Just a young man startin' out with a family of my own
A little girl who hugs my neck every night when I get home
I think of all she will do and who she's gonna be
I wonder what words she'll use when she talks of me
He was a - a good man, he took a stand for what he believed
Reliable and old school, worked hard for the family
A true friend 'til the end, the way it oughta be
And I pray someday, that's how they'll remember me
Here I am, down on bended knees
Help me to help myself be the best that I can be
I wanna be a - a good man and take a stand for what I believe
Reliable and old school, work hard for my family
A true friend until the end, that's who I wanna be
I'm taking it day by day
And I pray some day, that's how they'll remember me
With a mule and a one-row plough, he cleared his field of dreams
He raised a son and daughter from what he grew in the ground
Hope I can hold my end up of the roots that he put down
He was a - a good man and he took a stand for what he believed
Reliable and old school, worked hard for the family
A true friend until the end, the way it oughta be
And I pray someday, that's how they'll remember me
Just a young man startin' out with a family of my own
A little girl who hugs my neck every night when I get home
I think of all she will do and who she's gonna be
I wonder what words she'll use when she talks of me
He was a - a good man, he took a stand for what he believed
Reliable and old school, worked hard for the family
A true friend 'til the end, the way it oughta be
And I pray someday, that's how they'll remember me
Here I am, down on bended knees
Help me to help myself be the best that I can be
I wanna be a - a good man and take a stand for what I believe
Reliable and old school, work hard for my family
A true friend until the end, that's who I wanna be
I'm taking it day by day
And I pray some day, that's how they'll remember me
