[Verse 1] Fishing the old Frio River Me and dad on the banks together A common cooler full of Coca Cola Starting school and graduating My first kiss on my summer vacation First shot of tequila in Reynosa
[Chorus] When my life flashes before my eyes And I’m through rockin’ and the lights go down When that last song you sang and the white dove flies And the music's fading and I’m heaven bound When I’m at the gate I hope the good lord waits Just a minute before I start knocking When my life flashes before my eyes It’ll be worth watching
[Verse 2] First time I saw you smile Watching you walk down the aisle' And the minute the nurse handed you our baby All those familiar faces And all the memories time erases And the places this whole highway is yet to take me
[Chorus] When my life flashes before my eyes And I’m through rockin' and the lights go down When that last song you sang and the white dove flies And the music's fading and I’m heaven bound Oh when I’m at the gate i hope the good lord waits Just a minute before I start knocking When my life flashes before my eyes It’ll be worth watching
[Bridge] I’m still going strong I might slow down some I won’t leave a thing undone 'til I see my silhouette in the fading sun
[Chorus] When my life flashes before my eyes And I’m through rockin' and the lights go down When that last song is sung and the white dove flies And the music's fading and I’m heaven bound Oh when I’m at the gate i hope the good lord waits Just a minute before I start knocking When my life flashes before my eyes Yeah when my life flashes before my eyes It’ll be worth watching
