Live Like You Were Dying Lyrics - Tim McGraw

1 He said, "I was in my early 40s

2 With a lot of life before me

3 When a moment came that stopped me on a dime

4 I spent most of the next days

5 Looking at the X-rays

6 And talking 'bout the options, and talking 'bout

7 sweet time

8 I asked him when it sank in

9 That this might really be the real end

10 How's it hit ya when you get that kind of news

11 Man, what'd ya do"

12 And he said

13 "I went skydiving

14 I went Rocky Mountain climbing

15 I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu

16 And I loved deeper

17 and I spoke sweeter

18 And I gave forgiveness I've been denying"

19 And he said, "Someday, I hope you get the chance

20 To live like you were dyin'"

21 He said, "I was finally the husband

22 That most the time I wasn't

23 And I became a friend a friend would like to have

24 And all of a sudden goin' fishin'

25 Wasn't such an imposition

26 And I went three times that year I lost my dad

27 Well, I, I finally read the Good Book

28 And I took a good long hard look

29 At what I'd do if I could do it all again

30 And then

31 I went skydiving

32 I went Rocky Mountain climbing

33 I went two point seven seconds on a bull named

34 Fumanchu,

35 And I loved deeper

36 And I spoke sweeter

37 And I gave forgiveness I've been denying"

38 And he said, "Someday, I hope you get the chance

39 To live like you were dyin'"

40 Like, tomorrow was a gift

41 And you got eternity to think about what'd you do

42 with it

43 What did you do with it?

44 What did I do with it?

45 What would I do with it?

46 Skydiving

47 I went Rocky Mountain climbing

48 I went two point seven seconds on a bull named

49 Fumanchu

50 And I loved deeper

51 And I spoke sweeter

52 And I watched an eagle as it was flying

53 And he said, "Someday, I hope you get the chance

54 To live like you were dyin'"

55 Live like you were dyin'

56 Live like you were dyin'

57 Live like you were dyin'

58 Live like you were dyin'
