Lyrics Brantley Gilbert

Brantley Gilbert

Halfway To Heaven

There's a live oak tree

You can still see off old 129

You can see the scars, its missing bark

Where it stopped my truck that night

They say I took a swing at my best friend

For trying to take my keys

Next thing I knew I was upside down

Thinking this is it for me

When you see life flash before your eyes

The good, the bad, the wrong, the right

Fade into a bright white light

Shining down on you

You're hanging on by a thread

Wondering which ones your last breath

Knowing there's so much you've left to do

You live your life a better man

When you've been a halfway to Heaven

First thing I did was hug my momma

I even hugged my dad

I told them both how much I love them

Never saw daddy cry like that

Started hanging out with my little brother

Man, I never missed a game

I'm in church every Sunday morning

And I pray every day

When you see life flash before your eyes

The good, the bad, the wrong, the right

Fade into a bright white light

Shining down on you

You're hanging on by a thread

Wondering which ones your last breath

Knowing there's so much you've left to do

You live your life a better man

When you've been halfway to Heaven

And I won't waste one minute

Yeah, my life's changed

And I'm gonna live it

Like I'm hanging on by a thread

Wondering which ones my last breath

Knowing there's so much I've left to do

I live my life a better man, live my life a better man

'Cause I've been halfway to Heaven

Halfway to Heaven
