[00:-2.00] trace adkins - i came here to live
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:05.00]
[00:10.00]
[00:12.12] i grew up in a town where tough was a cigarette
[00:17.87] and a souped up car on a county road
[00:23.55] nothin' much to do back then
[00:25.59] so we'd make bets
[00:29.39] on how much drink a guy could hold
[00:32.88] and i held my own
[00:39.20] learn to hold my own
[00:40.98]
[00:46.29] daddy works some dead-end job at the concrete plant
[00:51.63] mama taught the sunday bible class
[00:57.71] for eighteen years i remember thinkin'
[01:03.83] there was more to life than that
[01:06.25] so i ran the streets to beat the devil
[01:11.71] goin' just as fast as i could fly
[01:18.04] 'cause i came here to live
[01:23.64] i didn't come here to die
[01:25.37]
[01:31.65] mama used to wait for me with the porch light on
[01:36.84] worried about her little boy 'til i got home
[01:43.26] daddy he'd say listen son
[01:46.02] but back then there wasn't much
[01:49.71] that i didn't already know
[02:00.34] i reckon i was doing close to 80
[02:03.24]
[02:05.23] when i felt the tire slip out from under me
[02:10.86] and i never set out lookin' for jesus
[02:16.82] so i guess jesus come lookin' for me
[02:20.34] and he found me upset down in a ditch
[02:25.43] smokin' gas in my eyes
[02:31.56] and he said son you came here to live
[02:37.21] you didn't come here to die
[02:39.01]
[02:44.95] sunday morning i got up and i went to church
[02:50.78] that summer i got a job and i went to work
[02:57.08] met a girl in town put some money down
[03:01.50] on a little house with a yard
[03:05.27]
[03:13.41] our little boy was due in september
[03:19.38] but he came early in july
[03:25.08] for eighteen days all i remember
[03:31.26] was settin' there at his side
[03:33.69] sayin' son open up your eyes
[03:39.85] just open up your eyes
[03:45.43] 'cause you came here to live
[03:51.10] you didn't come here to die
[03:56.53] son you came here to live
[04:00.49]
[04:02.47]
