Brantley Gilbert & Colt Ford
This song is about a near-fatal truck accident that Brantley Gilbert got into when he was 19. The series of events inspired Brantley to get serious about making music, and this song is a reflection of the accident.

[Verse 1]
There's a live oak tree you can still see off all 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
[Chorus]
When you see life flash before your eyes
The good the bad the wrong the right
Fade into a bright white line
Shining down on you
Your hanging on by a thread
Wondering which ones your last breath
Knowing there's so much you have left to do
Live your life a better man
When you've been, halfway to heaven
[Verse 2]
First thing I did was hug my momma
I even hugged my dad
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
I pray everyday
[Chorus]
When you see life flash before your eyes
The good the bad the wrong the right
Fade into a bright white line
Shining down on you
Your hanging on by a thread
Wondering which ones your last breath
Knowing there's so much you have left to do
Live your life a better man
When you've been, halfway to heaven
[Bridge]
I won't waste, one minute
Yeah my life's changed
And I'm going to live it
[Chorus]
Like I'm hanging on by a thread
Wondering which ones my last breath
Knowing there's so much I have left to do
I live my life a better man
I live my life a better man
Cause I've been, halfway to heaven
