Lyrics

Long As You?re a Good Man
(Damian Follett/ Des Gambin)

When I was a young boy I was so fascinated
with every odd job that my daddy did
I used to dream about bein? a carpenter who builds big houses
Cause my Daddy could fix ?bout anything

He told me son it doesn?t matter what you do
Cause the way you live is all that?s gonna last

You can be a politician electrician
rodeo rider or a race car driver
Remember you?re just part of a greater plan
You can be a high school teacher small town preacher
or a singer in a R & R band
It don?t matter son long as you?re a good man

I turned 18 captain of the baseball team
Both major leagues were scouting me
When I broke my arm I thought that my life was over
That was gonna be the end of my big league dreams

Daddy said son you got your whole life in front of you
There?s so many other roads that you can take

Now I am a grown man I make a livin? buiding houses
My boy goes everywhere with me
Every day drivin? nails every evening throwin? fastballs
I wonder will he ever make it to the big leagues???..ah that don?t matter

You make an honest living it won?t matter what you do
?Cause who you are is all that?s gonna last

You can pour coffee in a coffee shop or hand out tickets as a traffic cop
You can pour drinks in honky tonk bar You can make a living sellin? used cars Doctor Lawyer Engineer Farmer on a tractor Big John Deere
Taxi Driver Deep Sea Diver Fixin?mufflers down at Midas
Washing windows sweepin?floors Soldier fightin?in a foreign war
New York City in a high rise Paramedic savin? lives
