I was late for work, had to pull to the side |
|
While a funeral train of cars drove by with their lights on |
|
It was just my luck, it went on and on for miles |
|
I kept checkin' my watch, grittin' my teeth |
|
Then suddenly it dawned on me that whoever this is |
|
Is gonna be missed for a long, long time |
|
It got me thinking |
|
When it's my time to go, the end of my road |
|
I hope it looks like this200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts |
|
I touched while |
|
I livedAnd |
|
I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time |
|
So I followed that last car down to the church |
|
Took off my ball cap, tucked in my shirt |
|
I just had to see what kind of life could cause such as traffic jam |
|
Heard story after story, people laugh, people cry |
|
It didn't take long to understand why every pew was full |
|
There's a lot of good souls made better for knowing him |
|
And now I'm one of them |
|
When it's my time to go, the end of my road |
|
I hope it looks like this200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts |
|
I touched while |
|
I livedAnd |
|
I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time |
|
Felt a hand on my back, turned around, someone asked"Did you know him well?" |
|
And I said, "Yeah, well enough to know" |
|
When it's my time to go, the end of my road |
|
I hope it looks like this200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts |
|
I touched while |
|
I livedAnd |
|
I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time |
|
Ooh, when it's my time |
