Near-Death Experience
She told herself it's what she wanted
Must've been late July, early August
She looked up the number and called it
Didn't tell no one, they'd just try and stop it
She drove all the way
To the clinic downtown
Then she either got brave
Or chickened out
I had a near death, a near death experience
Before I was born
I made it out by the skin of my teeth and a break in the storm
She said she was sure I'd be better off
'Cause I needed things she just couldn't provide
But here I am against whatever odds
Speculating why she changed her mind
Maybe it was her, maybe it was God
All I know is I'm glad to be alive
My life hasn't been perfect
She cries sometimes, says you don't deserve this
And I know it hurts us both when I'm hurting
But she made a choice and neither one of us would reverse it
I had a near death, a near death experience
Before I was born
I made it out by the skin of my teeth and a break in the storm
She said she was sure I'd be better off
'Cause I needed things she just couldn't provide
But here I am against whatever odds
Speculating why she changed her mind
Maybe it was her, maybe it was God
All I know is I'm glad to be alive
And that choice wasn't mine
But I can tell you what I'd want
'Cause a hard life or no life
Ain't really a choice at all
I had a near death, a near death experience before I was born
Must've been late July, early August
She looked up the number and called it
Didn't tell no one, they'd just try and stop it
She drove all the way
To the clinic downtown
Then she either got brave
Or chickened out
I had a near death, a near death experience
Before I was born
I made it out by the skin of my teeth and a break in the storm
She said she was sure I'd be better off
'Cause I needed things she just couldn't provide
But here I am against whatever odds
Speculating why she changed her mind
Maybe it was her, maybe it was God
All I know is I'm glad to be alive
My life hasn't been perfect
She cries sometimes, says you don't deserve this
And I know it hurts us both when I'm hurting
But she made a choice and neither one of us would reverse it
I had a near death, a near death experience
Before I was born
I made it out by the skin of my teeth and a break in the storm
She said she was sure I'd be better off
'Cause I needed things she just couldn't provide
But here I am against whatever odds
Speculating why she changed her mind
Maybe it was her, maybe it was God
All I know is I'm glad to be alive
And that choice wasn't mine
But I can tell you what I'd want
'Cause a hard life or no life
Ain't really a choice at all
I had a near death, a near death experience before I was born
