Tracy Byrd - Before I Die lyrics

rate me

Before I die I wanna hit the Mississipi

In a boat I've yet to buy and take it out in the Gulf

Where the water meets the sky

To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry.

And I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat

Maybe catch a homerun when a new all-star goes deep

And pretend that's Maris and Mantle pointing up at me.

While I can still breathe

While this old heart still has another beat

It's time I put some livin' to these dreams.

Before I die, I'm gonna learn all about how man swallows pride

And find the strength to tell my daddy he was right

And tell mama I'm sorry about that night.

Before I'm called up

I wanna be the kinda man that a woman wants to love

And find a side of me that's a different kind of tough

Who ain't ashamed to need the man above.

While I can still breathe

While this old heart still has another beat

It's time I put some living to these dreams.

And Lord I know

These are things I should have done a long time ago

And when I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease

And if I left right now I couldn't rest in peace.

While I can still breathe

While this old heart still has another beat

It's time I put some livin' to these dreams.

Before I die, I wanna hit the Mississipi in a boat I've yet to buy

Take it out in the Gulf where the water meets the sky

To where nothing on God's green earth looks dry...
