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 someone Always help your mom across the street Always wash your hands when you wanna eat But 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 whileIt's OK to cry If you feel it comin onIt'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
