Song lyrics
He said I was in my early fourties 
with a lot 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 
I asked him when it sank in and 
this might be the really real end 
I said how's it hit ya 
when you get that kinda news? 
Man what'd ya do? 
and 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 I'd been denying 
and he said some day I hope you get the chance 
to live like you were dying 

He said I was finally the husband 
that most the time I wasn't 
and I became a friend 
a friend would like to have 
And all ‘a sudden going fishin’ 
Wasn’t such an imposition 
And I went three times that year I lost 
my dad 
Well I finally read the good book 
And I took a good long hard look 
At what I’d do if I could do it all 
again…and then 

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 I'd been denying 
and he said some day I hope you get the chance 
to live like you were dying 

like tomorrow was a gift 
and you got eternity 
to think about what'd you do with it. 
what did you do with it. 
what did I do with it? 
what would I do with it? 

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 watched an eagle as it was flying 
and he said some day I hope you get the chance 
to live like you were dying X 5 
Whoo!

This song takes me through a time portal. I listen to it and it's like I go back in time. This was like the number one song when I met my man. It was our favorite so we listened to it all the time. And this video is soo hott.. Tim McGraw is soooo hott. What's hotter than a cowboy barefooted?

I was listening to nelly ft. tim mcgraw and i never heard about him so i looked him up on the internet, i found a few songs of him on launch.yahoo.com and this one really touched me. I send it to a friend of mine, and she loved it as much as i do, what means, really really really much :d:p

I love this song--even though they play it on a new pop/rock station, it's more like country to me, but it's still awesome! It really makes u stop and think about your life for a second.

This song is so uplifting. It gives people the spirit to live their lives better like it really was the last day of their lives. The ending note does bug me though. I think he holds it too long.
