We All Wind Up The Same

Let me be remembered
As that soldier, tan and slender
Or just the guy who fixed your fender
Just let me be remembered
And as you take your next breath of air
Remember now I am everywhere
And remember, that we all wind up the same
If you work your life away
Or if you lay around all day
If you bow your head to pray
Or if you don’t have much to say
If you drive a truck, if you write books
Be you policeman or be you a crook
Makes no difference, cause we all end up the same
Yeah, we all wind up the same
A slab of rock, a date and name
Old pictures in a dollar-store frame
Yeah we all wind up, we all wind up the same
Please don’t you pity me
I was exactly who I wanted to be
I had a woman who would bring you to your knees
And a son who always stood by me
Take a look at what you’ve got
The things you earned, not the things you bought
These things will tell you, that we all end up the same
Yeah, we all wind up the same
A slab of rock, a date and name
Old pictures in a dollar-store frame
Yeah we all wind up, we all wind up the same
