"a good man" lyrics

Sat on your shoulders, first memory
Wide-eyed in wonder, taught me how to sing
Showed me how to dream

I look in the mirror, staring at you
I tried on your jacket, but I couldn't fill your shoes
But I hope one day I do

There goes a good man
Doing the best he can
Been a saint and a sinner
A loser, a winner
Oh, but don't misunderstand
There goes a legend
He's stumbling towards heaven
He cries when he sees us
When he talks about Jesus
And oh, if you need a hand
There goes a good man
There goes a good man

A man of his word, and most of them true
Once he gets going, inspires the entire room
And probably upset a few

There goes a good man
Doing the best he can
Been a saint and a sinner
A loser, a winner
Oh, but don't misunderstand
There goes a legend
He's stumbling towards heaven
He cries when he sees us
When he talks about Jesus
Oh, and if you need a hand
There goes a good man
There goes a good man

And I know he's not perfect
But oh, it's been worth it
Yeah, I'm just here rehearsing
To be more like him

There goes a good man
Doing the best he can
Been a saint and a sinner
A loser, a winner
Oh, but don't misunderstand
There goes a legend
He's stumbling towards heaven
He cries when he sees us
When he talks about Jesus
Oh, and if you need a hand
There goes a good man
There goes a good man
There goes a good man
There goes a good man
