He said
I was in my early forties
with a lot of life before me
When a moment came
that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days
lookin' at the x-rays
And talkin' 'bout the options
And talkin' 'bout sweet time
I asked him
when it sank in that
This might really
be the real end
How's it hit you
when you get that kinda news
Man what'd you do
And he said
I went sky divin' I went
Rocky Mountain climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds
on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness
I'd been denyin'
And he said someday
I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
He said
I was finally the husband
that most the time I wasn't
And I became a friend
a friend would like to have
And all the sudden
goin' fishin'
wasn't such an imposition
And I went three times
that year I lost my dad
Well I
finally read the good book
And I
took a good long hard look
At what I'd do
if I could do it all again
And then
I went sky divin' I went
Rocky Mountain climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds
on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness
I'd been denyin'
And he said someday
I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you got eternity
to think about
what'd you do with it
What did you do with it
What did I do with it
What would I do with it
Sky divin' I went
Rocky Mountain climbin'
I went 2.7 seconds
on a bull named Fu Manchu
Then I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle
as it was flyin'
And he said someday
I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin'
To live like you were dyin'
