[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]
