Before I die I wanna hit the Mississippi in a boat I've yet to buy
Take it out in the gu'f where the water meets the sky
Where nothin' on God's green Earth looks dry
I wanna see that stadium in New York from a right field seat
Maybe catch a home run when the new all-star goes deep
And pretend that 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' in these dreams
Before I die I'm gonna learn all about how a man swallows pride
Find the strength to tell my daddy he was right
Tell Mama I'm sorry about that night
'Fore I'm called up I wanna be the kind of man that a woman wants to love
Find the side of me that's a different kind of tough
Who ain't ashamed to meet the Man above
And Lord I know these are the things I should've done a long time ago
When I close my eyes I wanna feel at ease
If I left right now I couldn't rest in peace
