Brad Paisley
Harvey Bodine
Died at 11:09
And he left behind
A miserable wife
And at 11:14
His heart came back on the screen
Thanks to that defib machine
He came back to life
Oh but those five minutes were heaven
A peace unlike he'd ever known
And as he came back to the living
He thought "Please God, don't make me go
Back to life."
They told him what happened
How that green line had flattened
Oh, Harvey just started laughing
He said, "You're telling me I died."
(You're telling me I died?)
Oh, and he thought about that woman
How she treated him for years
All a-yellin' and a-screamin'
And the nagging and the tears
And the way it wasn't really all that bad
When he lost his life
Because those five minutes were heaven
A peace unlike he'd ever known
And now he was back with the living
And he found himself reaching for the phone
He called his lawyer, he called his priest
Told 'em bout how they restarted his heart
How his wedding vows were technically
'Til death do us part
You'll probably judge me
Then so be it
But you know boys, here's how I see it
Harvey Bodine
Died at 11:09
And he left behind
A miserable wife
Oh, but at 11:14
My heart came back on that screen
Thanks to that defib machine
I've come back to life
