Country music entertainer Faith Hill feels very strongly about one of her husband Tim McGraw's most successful tracks. More here...
Country music maven Faith Hill must really, really like husband Tim McGraw’s 2004 hit song “Live Like You Were Dying” since she recently proclaimed to Entertainment Weekly that she would ‘pack her bags and leave’ if he ever cut the song from his concert set list.
As fans might recall, the soaring tune about living life to the fullest scored McGraw the CMA and ACM Single and Song of the Year Awards, the Grammy Award for Best Country Song, and it has sold over 2 million copies globally.
Sorry Tim, expect to play this song a lot over you lifetime— wouldn’t want to get on Faith’s bad side. Happy wife, happy life.

He said
“I was in my early forties
With a lot of life before me
And a moment came that stopped me on a dime
I spent most of the next days
Looking at the x-rays
Talkin’ ’bout the options
And talkin’ ’bout sweet time”
I asked him
“When it sank in
That this might really be the real end
How’s it hit you
When you get that kind of news?
Man, what’d you do?”
He said
“I went skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denying”
And he said
“Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying”
He said
“I was finally the husband
That most of the time I wasn’t
And I became a friend a friend would like to have
And all of a sudden going fishin’
Wasn’t such an imposition
And I went three times that year I lost my dad
I finally read the Good Book, and I
Took a good, long, hard look
At what I’d do if I could do it all again
And then
I went skydiving
I went Rocky Mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I gave forgiveness I’d been denying”
And he said
“Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying
Like tomorrow was a gift
And you’ve got eternity
To think about
What you’d do with it
What could you do with it
What did I do with it?
What would I do with it?
Skydiving
I went Rocky mountain climbing
I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Fumanchu
And I loved deeper
And I spoke sweeter
And I watched an eagle as it was flying”
And he said
“Someday I hope you get the chance
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying
To live like you were dying”
