Be Good Until Then Lyrics & Chords By Butch Walker

Always know the road you're riding on
Always know the words to your baby's song
Try to make the most of Friday nights
When they come

Maybe turn a stranger to a friend
Never break a heart that's on the mend
Never let the romance ever end
Like I've done

Never judge a color of a skin
Never judge a person by their kin
Never follow leaders that begin
Behind some wall

Always help your mom across the street
Always wash your hands when you wanna eat
Always keep 'em dirty enough to see
Where you came from

And it's okay to cry if you feel it coming on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then

Try to see the best inside the bad
No matter now how many drinks you had
Never make a promise you'll regret
Come sunrise

Try to rarely ever oversleep
Always keep your ego at your feet
Maybe try to practice what you preach
Once in a while

And it's okay to cry if you feel it coming on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then

Everybody loves a hero
Not so much when they fall short
So try to keep your cape on underneath
You don't have to try so hard
To be the best, just know you are
And that's all that'll matter to me

And it's okay to cry if you feel it coming on
It'll let you know you're human in the end
All these things will mean more when I'm gone
Just be good until then
