Sprayed my name on a water tower

Carved it in an old cottonwood tree

Signed a bunch?of?high school yearbooks


So?they wouldn't forget about me


It wasn't?till I saw my daddy's name in stone I knew

It?ain't?a?question of if?they will

It's how?they remember you


Did you stand or did you fall?

Build a bridge or build a wall

Hide your love or give it all

What did you do?

What did you do?


Did you make 'em laugh or make 'em cry?

Did you quit or did you try?

Live your dreams or let 'em die

What did you choose?

What did you choose?


When it all comes down

It ain't if, it's how they remember you


When you're down to your last dollar

Will you give or will you take?

When the stiff wind blows the hardest

Will you bend or will you break? (will you break?)


You're gonna leave a legacy, no matter what you do

It ain't a question of if they will

It's how they remember you


Did you stand or did you fall?

Build a bridge or build a wall

Hide your love or give it all

What did you do?

What did you do?


Did you make 'em laugh or make 'em cry?

Did you quit or did you try?

Live your dreams or let 'em die

What did you choose?

What did you choose?


When it all comes down

It ain't if, it's how they remember you


Did you make 'em laugh or make 'em cry?

Did you quit or did you try?

Live your dreams or let 'em die

What did you choose? (what did you choose?)


Oh, when it all comes down

It ain't if, it's how they remember you


(How they, how they remember)

(How they, how they remember)

(How they, how they remember) How they remember

(How they, how they remember)

(How they, how they remember) Whoa

(How they, how they remember)

(How they, how they remember) How they remember

(How they, how they remember) How they remember you
