Before I Die

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 nothin' 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 Pointin' 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 bout 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 livin' 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 nothin' on

God's green earth

Looks dry<p align="center"><font size="3"><b><a href="index.htm"><u>
