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!

I agree... but everyone always says they are gonna live like they were dying tomorrow and I never see anyone do it. Maybe they do if they actually get bad news like that... eh.

Wow i really liked this song! Everyone elses thoughts on it have been the same to "live each day as though its your last"... well my friend has has a brain tumor so everyday that he does wake up, he lives it to the fullest... so this really hit me hard hearing this song.. dont take anything for granted b/c u never know what can happen.

This is a great song! I saw him perform last week and he was fabulous. Can't wait until his new CD comes out in August because not only is this song great but a couple others he sang are equally as good!
