Lyrics

Six Feet

When I was just a kid
I had dreams and they were big
As a pro athlete, I'd be a star
With a great big house, and a fancy car
I was so great, all knew my name
With lots of wealth- and lots of fame
the world revolved -all around me
I worked so hard -but it wasn't to be
Chorus
So many times and so many ways ,
I spent my time chasing glory days
I worked out to get big and strong
I dreamt of it all day long
But I got hurt and I was kind of slow
My dreams collapsed when I didn't grow
I should have been a great athlete
If only I'd been more --than six feet
verse
I went to school to get a degree
met a girl and started a family
But I still had hope.,I still had dreams
To Get to the top by any means
So I buried myself- in my work
my wife left cause ,I was such a jerk
I was way too blind to see
I only cared about prosperity
Chorus
So many nights and so many days ,
I spent my time in a busy haze
By working for a pot of gold
My quest for it was uncontrolled
But it wasn't enough -I wasn't satisfied
I lost my family due to foolish pride
And I had deadlines I had to meet
In a stack of paper more than six feet deep
verse
Time went by and I grew old
With no one to love and no one to hold
Looking back I've got lots of regrets
That I spent my life acquiring assets
If Money , power , fame is success,
Why am I only filled with emptiness. I
've been deceived I testify—
You can't take those things -when you die

Chorus

So many times and so many ways
I've lived a life of wasted days
Been searching for a pot of gold
And all the land I could behold
But now the things that matter most To me
Were doing things with my family
At death I see how much land I need
It was a little more than six feet
so many times and so many ways
, So many nights and so many days
and six feet deep

and six feet deep
