Be Good Until Then

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
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
Just 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 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
Just be good until then
