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 ‘bout sweet time And I asked him when it sank in That this might really be the end How’s it hit ya’ when you get that kind of news Man, what’d you do (he said)
C H O R U S 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 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 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 And 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
C H O R U S 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 one day I hope you get a chance To live like you were dying
Like tomorrow was a gift And you’ve got eternity to think of what you did with it What you did with it…what did I do with it
C H O R U S 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 one day I hope you get a chance To live like you were dying
