Rodney Atkins - When It's My Time lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I was late for work, had to pull to the side<br>

While a funeral train of cars drove by with their lights on<br>

It was just my luck, it went on and on for miles<br>

<br>

I kept checkin' my watch, grittin' my teeth<br>

Then suddenly it dawned on me that whoever this is<br>

Is gonna be missed for a long, long time<br>

It got me thinking<br>

<br>

When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this<br>

200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived<br>

And I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time<br>

<br>

So I followed that last car down to the church<br>

Took off my ball cap, tucked in my shirt<br>

I just had to see what kind of life could cause such as traffic jam<br>

<br>

Heard story after story, people laugh, people cry<br>

It didn't take long to understand why every pew was full<br>

There's a lot of good souls made better for knowing him<br>

And now I'm one of them<br>

<br>

When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this<br>

200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived<br>

And I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time<br>

<br>

Felt a hand on my back, turned around, someone asked<br>

"Did you know him well?"<br>

And I said, "Yeah, well enough to know"<br>

<br>

When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this<br>

200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived<br>

And I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time<br>

Ooh, when it's my time<br>

<BR><BR>
