There's a live oak tree You can still see off old 129 You can see the scars, its missing bark Where it stopped my truck that night They say I took a swing at my best friend For trying to take my keys Next thing I knew I was upside down Thinking 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 light Shining down on you You're hanging on by a thread Wondering which one's your last breath Knowing there's so much you've left to do You live your life a better man When you've been a 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 hanging out with my little brother Man, I never missed a game I'm in church every Sunday morning And I pray every day When you see life flash before your eyes The good, the bad, the wrong, the right Fade into a bright white light Shining down on you You're hanging on by a thread Wondering which ones your last breath Knowing there's so much you've left to do You live your life a better man When you've been halfway to Heaven And I won't waste one minute Yeah, my life's changed And I'm gonna live it Like I'm hanging on by a thread Wondering which ones my last breath Knowing there's so much I've left to do I live my life a better man, live my life a better man 'Cause I've been halfway to Heaven Halfway to Heaven
