Album: Raised On Red
Drivin' home I passed a cross beside the highway
Got me thinkin' bout a friend
Looking back, he'd barely started living
Don't seem fair the way things went
A'int no doubt he touched a lot of people
The little while he spent down here
Breaks your heart, makes you ask what would've happened
If he had only had a few more years
33, that's all he had
Sure is short sure is sad
He didn't get much time, cut down in his prime
33, half a life. Oh most folks live that twice
But what he did with his, sure changed mine
Down to Earth, country boy worked with his daddy
Give you the shirt right off his back
And he loved goin' fishing with his buddies
Should've had more time for stuff like that
33, that's all he had
Sure is short sure is sad
He didn't get much time, cut down in his prime
33, half a life. Oh most folks live that twice
But what he did with his, yeah what he did with his,
What he did with his
Brought him in on trumped up charges
Gave him a trial he couldn't win
Hung him up on a cross and called it over
But his story didn't end
At 33, that's all he had
Sure is short sure is sad
33 Not much time, cut down in his prime
33, half a life. Oh most folks live that twice
But what he did with his,
Yeah What he did with his, sure changed mine
Drivin' home I passed a cross beside the highway
I got me thinkin' bout a friend

I love, love, love this song. It doesn't only speak of Jesus to me. My brother died at 38. Life for him was short also. But what Jesus did for us with His life . . . no words can express full feelings - May 2020
