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
