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
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
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
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
I found my enemy
In the mirror looking back at me
That's not the man I want to be
That ain't me
That ain't me
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
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
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
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
