 intro  x2
 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 mama  cross the street
 Always wash your hands  when you wanna  eat
 Always keep them dirty  enough to see
 where you came from
 And it's okay to cry
 If you feel  it coming on
 It will let  you know you're human in the end
All  these things will mean more when I'm gone
 So 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
 And it's okay to cry
 If you feel  it coming on
 It will let  you know you're human in the end
All  these things will mean more when I'm gone
 So 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 ever matter to  me
 And it's okay  to cry
 If you feel  it coming on
 It will let  you know you're human in the end
All  these things will mean more when I'm gone
 So be good until then
