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
id 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 dont 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 dont think of all those days in that short lived 18years careening by
