18 Years Songtext / Lyric

He spent 18 years livin' life to the brim.
He fought harder than men two times as strong.
I don't think there was a day when I saw him complain.
Somethin higher come and help me carry on. He was more than a friend to all of us.
His selflessness was why he held on for so long.
If I'm have the man that he was,
I'd be a man worth watchin' carry on. And I won't be fine but thanks for askin.
My heart is heavier than your lead.
It don't seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?

He spent 18 years livin' life to the utmost,
Shifted my entire paradigm.
Not a minute goes by where I don't think of all those days,
In that short lived 18 years careening by.

And I won't be fine but thanks for askin.
My heart is heavier than your lead.
It don't seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?

And I won't be fine but thanks for askin.
My heart is heavier than your lead.
It don't seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?

And I won't be fine but thanks for askin.
My heart is heavier than your lead.
It don't seem right to trade a dollar for a dime,
Lord above why do you leave us all for dead?
