Intro.: | | | x 2

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
