When It's My Time Lyrics - It's America - Rodney Atkins

I was late for work, had to pull to the side 

While a funeral train of cars drove by with their lights on 

It was just my luck, it went on and on for miles 

I kept checkin' my watch, grittin' my teeth 

Then suddenly it dawned on me that whoever this is 

Is gonna be missed for a long, long time 

It got me thinking 

When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this 

200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived 

And I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time

So I followed that last car down to the church 

Took off my ball cap, tucked in my shirt 

I just had to see what kind of life could cause such as traffic jam 

Heard story after story, people laugh, people cry 

It didn't take long to understand why every pew was full 

There's a lot of good souls made better for knowing him 

And now I'm one of them 

When it's my time to go, the end of my road I hope it looks like this 

200 cars stretched out as far as the hearts I touched while I lived 

And I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time 

Felt a hand on my back, turned around, someone asked 

"Did you know him well?" 

And I said, "Yeah, well enough to know"

And I hope I leave half as much love behind when it's my time 

Ooh, when it's my time
