Live Like You Were Dying
Tim McGraw
Live Like You Were Dying (Original Version)
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
And I spent most of the next days
Looking at the x-rays
And talking ‘bout the options
Talking about sweet time
And I asked him when it sank in
That this might really be the end
HowÂ’s it hit yaÂ’ when you get that kind of news
Man, whatÂ’d you do
(He said:)
Chorus:
I went sky diving I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds
On a bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness IÂ’d been denying
And he said one day I hope you get a chance
To live like you were dying
He said : I was finally the husband
That most the time I wasnÂ’t
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all ‘a sudden going fishin’
WasnÂ’t such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
And I finally read the good book
And I took a good long hard look
At what IÂ’d do if I could do it all
Again, and then
Chorus
Like tomorrow was a gift
And youÂ’ve got eternity to think of
What you did with it
What you did with it, what did I do with it
Chorus
