 Intro.: | | | x 2

 There's a live oak tree you can still see off ol' one twenty- nine

 You can see the scars, its missin' bark where it stopped my truck that night

 They say I took a swing at my best friend for tryin' to take my keys

 Next thing I knew, I was upside down thinkin' this is it for me

(Chorus)

 When you see life flash before your eyes, the good, the bad, the wrong, the right

  Fade in- to a bright white line shinin' down on you

 You're hangin' on by a thread wonderin' which one's your last breath

  Knowin' there's so much you have left to do

 You live your life a better man when you've been

  Halfway to heaven |

 First thing I did was hug my momma, I even hugged my dad

 I told them both how much I love them, never saw daddy cry like that

 Started hangin' out with my little brother, man I never missed a game

  I'm in church every Sunday morning, I pray every- day

(Chorus)

 When you see life flash before your eyes, the good, the bad, the wrong, the right

  Fade in- to a bright white line shinin' down on you

 You're hangin' on by a thread wonderin' which one's your last breath

  Knowin' there's so much you have left to do

 You live your life a better man when you've been

  Halfway to heaven

 And I won't waste one minute

 Yeah, my life's changed and I'm gonna live it

 Like I'm hangin' on by a thread wonderin' which one's my last breath

  Knowin' there's so much I have left to do
