Lyrics
18 Years
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He spent 18 years living life to the brim
He fought harder than men two times as strong
I don’t think there was a day when I saw him complain
Something higher come and help me carry on
He was more than a friend to all of us
His selflessness was why he held on for so long
If I’m have the man that he was
I’d be a man worth watching carry on
And I won’t be fine but thanks for asking
My heart is heavier than your lead
It don’t seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?
He spent 18 years living life to the utmost
Shifted my entire paradigm
Not a minute goes by where I don’t think of all those days
In that short lived 18 years careening by
And I won’t be fine but thanks for asking
My heart is heavier than your lead
It don’t seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?
