Verse 1

Got a front porch swing and a gravel drive

Kids’ names written on an old oak sign

Sun goes down on a field I plowed

A little dirt on my boots, but I’m still proud

Daddy taught me how to shake a hand

Mama taught me where to take a stand

Ain’t got riches stacked to the sky

But I’ve got reasons when I close my eyes

Chorus

If they write my story when I’m gone someday

I hope they say I loved and I gave away

More than I took from this old world spinning

Left a little light where I had been living

Held my woman close, raised my babies right

Thanked the good Lord every single night

When the final page finally comes to an end

I just want a life well spent

Verse 2

There’s a coffee cup stain on the kitchen table

Bills get paid and we do what we’re able

Friday nights and a church bell ring

Funny how the little things mean everything

Chorus

If they write my story when I’m gone someday

I hope they say I loved and I gave away

More than I took from this old world spinning

Left a little light where I had been living

Held my woman close, raised my babies right

Thanked the good Lord every single night

When the final page finally comes to an end

I just want a life well spent

Bridge

The years move fast like a river rolls

But the best things never come from gold

They’re found in the arms of the ones you love

And the grace of the One above

Final Chorus

If they write my story when I’m gone someday

I hope they say I lived life the honest way

Loved my family with all I had in me

And left behind a good memory

When my time is up and the road descends

I just want a life well spent

Yeah, a life well spent.
