Lyrics for Song: Live For Me 
Lyrics for Album: Heaven Forbid: Cult Classic [2003]
  
               
  16839>It was a wet night
  And the other guy
  Was lubricated with a pint of Jack
  His truck hit
  Jimmy's chevy
  With a sound like a thunder crack
 
 
  I was working late but I felt it happen
  I knew that my brother was laid low
  I waited for the call
  And then the damn call came
  And I knew what I knew and didn't want to know
 
 
  Live for me
  Live for me
  Live twice as big
  Love twice as long
  Work twice as hard
  Play all of your cards
  Live for me
  Live for me
  Burn twice as bright
  Three times as long
  But brother, don't do no one wrong
 
 
  Beth thought he would make it through the winter
  I never really thought so myself
  The dark spirit was always hoverin' nearer
  And I knew in my heart there was just no help
 
 
  When he called me to the bed
  Took my hand to say goodbye
  He said he wouldn't blame nobody
  Said he wouldn't ask the Lord why
 
 
  And when he passed on
  A March wind blew
  Sun drew away a veil of cloud
  We buried him smiling
  We buried him deep
  And I could hear him sayin' right out loud
 
 
  Live for me
  Live for me
  Live twice as big
  Love twice as long
  Work twice as hard
  Play all of your cards
  Live for me
  Live for me
  Burn twice as bright
  Three times as long
  But brother, don't do no one wrong
  Brother, don't do no one wrong
