Lyrics Tim McGraw – Live Like You Were Dyin’

Text:

He said, «I was in my early 40s,
With a lot of life before me,
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime.
I spent most of the next days

Lookin’ at the X-rays,
Talkin’ ’bout the options
And talkin’ ’bout sweet time.»

I asked him, «When it sank in that this might really be the real end,
How’s it hit you, when you get that kind of news?»
Man what’d you do?»
And he said,

«I went sky divin’,
I went rocky mountain climbin’,
I went 2.7 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, «Someday 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 of a sudden goin’ fishing
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 divin’,

I went rocky mountain climbin’,
I went 2.7 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, «Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying.»

Like tomorrow was a gift
And you’ve got eternity
To think about what you’d do with it,
What did you do with it,
What can I do with it,
What would I do with it.

Sky divin’,
I went rocky mountain climbin’,
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu.
And I loved deeper,
And I spoke sweeter,
And I watched an eagle as it was flyin’.

And he said, «Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin’.»

To live like you were dyin’.
To live like you were dyin’.
To live like you were dyin’.
To live like you were dyin’.
