[she] said, “I was in my early 40's with a lot of life before me
When 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 talking 'bout sweet time
I asked [her], “When it sank in that this might really be the real end
How's it hit ya when you get the kind of news?
Man, what'd ya do?”
“I went skydiving, I went rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fu Manchu
And I loved deeper and I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I'd been denying”
And he said, “Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'”
