Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  don't need  a whole lot of  money,
 But I wouldn't  turn the lottery down
 I just need  a little green in my pocket
 So I can buy  my buddies a round
 All I want  is a place to lay  my head
 With the woman  I love lyin' in  my bed
 Kind of understated
My  dreams aren't that complicated
 (Chorus)
I  want to be the one,  when all  is said and done
 Who lived  a good life, loved  a good wife
Always  helped someone  in trouble
 On the day  they lay me down
 I want everyone  to gather round,  and say
He  was a father, brother,  neighbor and  a friend
He  was a good man
Used  to dream  of bein' a rock  star
 And seein'  the world in style
 Used to dream  of havin' a fast  car
 And drivin'  that miracle mile
 But I've heard tell  those streets aren't paved  in gold
 They're full  of potholes and empty  souls
 Who never  learn, love  is something you gotta  earn
 (Chorus)
When  I'm gone I want to leave  a legacy
 Of love  and laughs and honesty behind  me
 Behind  me
 (Chorus)
 (repeat intro till end)
