he said i was in my early 40's

with alot 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

and i said when it sank in that this might really be the real end how it hits ya when you got this kind of news

man what you do? and he said

(chorus)

i went sky divin

i went rocky mountain climbin

iwent 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu

and i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter and i gave forgivness i'd been denyin

and he said some day i hope you get the chance

to live like you were dyin

he said i was finnaly the husband that most the time i wasnt and i became the frind a friend would like to have

and all of a sudden goin fishin wasnt such a imposision and i went 3 times that year i lost my dad

well i

ifinally read the good book and i took a good long hard look at what id do if i could do it all agian

and then

(chorus)
