There's a live oak tree you can still see off ol 129
You can see the scars its missin bark
Where it stopped my truck that night
They say I took a swing at my best friend
For tryin to take my keys
Next thing I knew I was upside down
Thinkin this is it for me
When you see life flash before your eyes
The good the bad the wrong the right
Fade into a bright white light
Shinin down on you
Your hangin on by a thread
Wondering which ones your last breath
Knowing theres so much you have left to do
Live your life a better man
When youve been, halfway to heaven
First thing I did was hug my momma
I even hugged my dad
Told them both how much I love them
Never saw daddy cry like that
Started hangin out with my little brother
Man I never missed a game
I'm in church every sunday mornin
I pray everyday
When you see life flash before your eyes
The good the bad the wrong the right
Fade into a bright white light
Shinin down on you
Your hangin on by a thread
Wonderin which ones your last breath
Knowin theres so much you have left to do
Live your life a better man
When you've been, halfway to heaven
I wont waste, one minute
Yeah my life's changed
And I'm gonna live it
Like I'm hangin on by a thread
Wondering which ones my last breath
Knowin theres so much I have left to do
I live my life a better man
I live my life a better man
Cuz I've been, halfway to heaven
