It doesn't matter what you are...it's who you are.....as long as you're a good person

Lyrics

Long as you're a good man

Written by: Des Gambin, Damien Follett


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
