When you're gone

How will you be remembered

Did you take that leap of faith

Tell the man that he'll have to wait

I ain't ready for the pearly gates

I got bills to pay and too few prospects to mention

I've seen enough to know I've seen too much

I'm losing ground while I'm losing touch

Chasing my tail running around in circles

But I can't let go

Though each day's a struggle

I seem to make the same mistakes

So when you're gone

How will you be remembered

Now did you take that leap of faith

Not far to fall when you're feeling low

Not hard to leave when you're letting go

From where I stand I can see rock bottom

There are times I feel like I could scream

But they're few and they're far between

Other days I feel I could walk on the water

But I can't let go

Though each day's a struggle

I seem to make the same mistakes

So when you're gone

How will you be remembered

Now did you take that leap of faith

Can't find my way but I sure find trouble

Give me a pick now give me a shovel

And I'll dig my own grave before you know it

Got drunk down at the Gavel and Gown

Walked the streets of this gritty old town

Lost in thought and high on ideas

But I can't let go

Though each day's a struggle

I seem to make the same mistakes

So when you're gone

How will you be remembered

Now did you take that leap of faith

Yeah when you're gone

How will you be remembered

Did you take that leap of faith

Yeah did you take that leap of faith
