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 line Shinin' down on you Your hangin' on by a thread Wondering which ones your last breath Knowing there's so much you've left to do Live your life a better man When you've been, halfway to heaven First thing I did was hug my momma I even hugged my dad I told them both how much I love them Never saw daddy cry like that Started hangin' out with my little brother Man I never miss 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 line Shinin' down on you Your hangin' on by a thread Wonderin' which ones your last breath Knowin' there's so much you have left to do Live your life a better man When you've been, halfway to heaven I won't 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' there's so much I have left to do I live my life a better man I live my life a better man Cause I've been, halfway to heaven Halfway to heaven
