Lyrics
Almost Had To Die
Scott Miller/Lee Johnson
He was drinkin' at the bar again, longer than he thought
Missed his daughter's play that day, he just plain forgot
Driving home he ran a red light, was t-boned by a truck
The doctors said he survived by pure luck
His wife and kids held his hands in that hospital room
he realized how much he had to lose...
He Almost Had to Die, to open his eyes
Almost lost sight of all the best things in life
blinded for a while, but now he see's things right
He Almost Had to Die, to open his eyes
When they got home the first thing he did, was kneel down to pray
Knows he got a second chance, it had to be God's Grace
He took his kids out in the yard, and threw the ball around
They laughed and played until the sun went down
His wife was smiling from the porch and she blew him a kiss
He'd forgotton how beautiful she is...
Chorus then Bridge:
He swears he saw a bright white light, in a dream he can't forget
Heard a voice call out his name, it said, "you're not done livin yet..."
Chorus quiet then big, then vamps out...
