"Halfway To Heaven" Lyrics

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 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 line
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
