| On a plane to the West Coast, laptop on my tray | |
| Papers spread across my seat, a big deadline to make | |
| An older man sitting next to me said, "Sorry to intrude, | |
| Thirty years ago my busy friend, I was you. | |
| I made a ton of money and I climbed up the ladder, | |
| Yeah, I was superman, not what does it matter. | |
| I missed the first steps my daughter took | |
| The time my son played Captain Hook in ‘Peter Pan’ | |
| I was in New York, said ‘Sorry son, Dad has to work’ | |
| I missed the father daughter dance | |
| The first home run, no second chance | |
| To be there when he crossed the plate | |
| The moment’s gone now it’s too late | |
| Fame and fortune come with a heavy price | |
| Son, don’t miss your life." | |
| Funny you should say that, I was sitting at the gate | |
| My daughter called, she made straight A’s and they’re off to celebrate. | |
| Scrolling through the pictures of my little family | |
| My daughter with her mom and friends, not a single one with me. | |
| They know I love ‘em, I know they know I care | |
| The truth is half the time, I’m not even there. | |
| I missed our fourth and fifth anniversary | |
| Our girl was early by a week | |
| Her sister had to hold her hand | |
| I was in L.A., she said "I understand" | |
| I missed her first day of school | |
| Then what kind of crazy fool | |
| Lets such precious moments pass | |
| We all know time goes way too fast | |
| Hold on tight ‘cause it don’t happen twice | |
| Don’t miss your life. | |
| When I get off this plane, I’ll buy a turn-around ticket | |
| Saturday’s her eighth birthday and I’m not gonna miss it | |
| There’ll be balloons and birthday cake | |
| And I’ll clean up the mess they make | |
| My mom and dad are drivin’ in | |
| I haven’t seen ‘em in God knows when | |
| My wife will probably say to me | |
| "I thought you were supposed to be in Portland | |
| For a few more days", I’ll take her in my arms and say | |
| "I heard some words that hit me hard last night, | |
| A man said: ‘Don’t miss your life.’" |
