He said I was in my early forties with a lot of life before me
and a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days looking at the x-rays
talking 'bout the options and talkin' 'bout sweet time
I asked him when it sank in if this might really be the real end
How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news, man what'cha do
I went sky diving
I went rocky mountain climbing
I went two point seven seconds on a bull named Fu Man Chu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter and I gave forgiveness id been denying
and he said some day I hope you get the chance to live like you were dying
He said I was finally the husband that most the time I wasn't
