He said I was in my early 40s
With a lot of life before me
When a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days
Looking at the x-rays
Talkin bout the options
And talkin bout sweet times
I asked him when it sank in
That this might really be the real end
Hows it hit ya
When you get that kind of news?
Man whatcha do?
And he said
I went skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness Id been denyin
And he said, Some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin
He said, I was finally the husband
That most the time I wasnt
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden goin fishin
Wasnt such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
Well I, I finally read the good book
And I took a good long hard look
At what Id do if I could do it all again
And then
I went skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness Id been denyin
And he said Some day I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin
Like tomorrow was a gift
And ya got eternity to think about what to do with it
What did do with it?
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it?
Skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
Then I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin
And he said Some day 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
Woo
