I Came Here To Live (I Came Here To Live) - Trace Adkins[00:00:00]
I grew up in a town where tough was a cigarette[00:00:12]
And a souped up car on a county road[00:00:17]
Nothin' much to do back then[00:00:23]
So we'd make bets[00:00:25]
On how much drink a guy could hold[00:00:29]
And I held my own[00:00:32]
Learn to hold my own[00:00:39]
Daddy works some dead-end job at the concrete plant[00:00:46]
Mama taught the Sunday bible class[00:00:52]
For eighteen years I remember thinkin'[00:00:57]
There was more to life than that[00:01:03]
So I ran the streets to beat the Devil[00:01:06]
Goin' just as fast as I could fly[00:01:11]
'Cause I came here to live[00:01:18]
I didn't come here to die[00:01:23]
Mama used to wait for me with the porch light on[00:01:31]
Worried about her little boy 'til I got home[00:01:37]
Daddy he'd say listen son[00:01:43]
But back then there wasn't much[00:01:45]
That I didn't already know[00:01:49]
I reckon I was doing close to 80[00:02:00]
When I felt the tire slip out from under me[00:02:05]
And I never set out lookin' for Jesus[00:02:11]
So I guess Jesus come lookin' for me[00:02:17]
And He found me upset down in a ditch[00:02:20]
Smokin' gas in my eyes[00:02:25]
And He said son you came here to live[00:02:31]
You didn't come here to die[00:02:37]
Sunday morning I got up and I went to church[00:02:45]
That summer I got a job and I went to work[00:02:51]
Met a girl in town put some money down[00:02:57]
On a little house with a yard[00:03:01]
Our little boy was due in September[00:03:13]
But he came early in July[00:03:19]
For eighteen days all I remember[00:03:25]
Was settin' there at his side[00:03:31]
Sayin' son open up your eyes[00:03:34]
Just open up your eyes[00:03:40]
'Cause you came here to live[00:03:45]
You didn't come here to die[00:03:51]
Son you came here to live[00:03:57]
