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
