[Verse 1]
He was my father's cousin
And mine twice removed
A family man, hard-workin'
He left this world too soon
I sat in the church pew
Tears filled up my eyes
As all his friends and family
Talked about his life
[Verse 2]
They said he was the best friend
A man could ever have
A son and a husband
A jokester and a dad
And it sure got me thinkin'
As they laid his body down
What story will be told
When my time comes around
[Chorus]
When I'm gone, will they care
How much money that I've made
Will my success or failure
Be the measure of my days
Or was my love all that mattered all along?
What will they say about me when I'm gone?
He was my father's cousin
And mine twice removed
A family man, hard-workin'
He left this world too soon
I sat in the church pew
Tears filled up my eyes
As all his friends and family
Talked about his life
[Verse 2]
They said he was the best friend
A man could ever have
A son and a husband
A jokester and a dad
And it sure got me thinkin'
As they laid his body down
What story will be told
When my time comes around
[Chorus]
When I'm gone, will they care
How much money that I've made
Will my success or failure
Be the measure of my days
Or was my love all that mattered all along?
What will they say about me when I'm gone?
