he said i was in my early 40's
with alot of life before me
then a moment came that stopped me on a dime
i spent most of the next days
looking 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 ya when you get that kind of news
man..whatcha do...and he said

{chorus}
i went sky divin
i went rocky mountain climbin
i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo
and i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter
and i gave forgiveness i've been denin'
and he said someday i hope you get the chance
to live like you were dyin

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 the sudden going fishin
wasn't such an imposition
and i went 3 times that year i lost my dad
well i...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

{chorus}

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

i went sky divin
i went rocky mountain climbin
i went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Foomanchoo
and then i loved deeper and i spoke sweeter
and i watched the eagle as it was flyin
and he said someday i hope you get the chance
to live like you were dyin{x4}
