And he said, “Someday I hope you get the chance

And I took a good long hard look
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
”And all of a sudden goin' fishin'

To live like you were dyin'
Man, what'd ya do?”
And he said, “Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dyin'”
And he said, “Someday I hope you get the chance
”How's it hit 'cha when you get that kind of news?
With a lot of life before me
To live like you were dyin'”
