trace adkins - i came here to live |
| [00:-1.00] |
|

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] |

| [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] |
