Aldean, Jason - Not Every Man Lives Lyrics






Have you ever skipped a stone across the water
Have you ever hitched a free ride on a train
Have you ever climbed up on a water tower
To write a name

The truth is, Every man dies
Not every man lives

Have you ever loved someone that you would die for
Have you ever walked too far out on a limb
Have you ever chased a dream too high to reach for
And pulled it in

Truth is Every man dies
But Not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines
Run the red lights in my mind
Take everything, One lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk blind-folded on a wire
Every man dies
But not every man lives

Have you ever thought about how fast time passes
Ever thought about what you would leave behind
Ever stood up for something you believed in
And drawn a line

Truth is every man dies
But not every man lives

I wanna paint outside the lines
Run the red lights in my mind
Take Everything, One lifetime has to give
I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk blind-folded on a wire

Every man Dies
But Not Every Man Lives

I wanna stand inside a fire
Walk Blind-folded on a wire
Every Man Dies
But Not every Man Lives

Have you ever skipped a stone across the water...
Have you ever Hitched a free ride on a train...

  17. E.... H....

    Im getting harassed in ATASCOSA Tx by the JUSTICE system relentlessly with no hope. It's been 2 yrs. I never did anything to deserve it. A lying cheating wife that beat on my children and still yet she has custody I haven't seen them since February and even though that I have 49% custody there's nothing that they're doing about it my beautiful little girls without a daddy because of a wicked wife. And because of her last name I'm getting hammered. Three tours in Iraq for this I hate my life I miss my kids.

  18. E.... H....

    I've lost buddies to suicide because of the war... been close to it myself.

  19. C.... R....

    I lost my best friend in Iraq cause of an ied and I sat there and watched him die every day I wish it was me and not him

  20. N.... o....

    this should be on every radio

  21. w.... r....

    what makes me mad is that these men fight for our freedom and we all we give is crap .we just dont get that thay see their friends die and thay know that thay can't help them. each day thay struggle to cop with ptsd and their very painful memories that have and will never leave them WE JUST DON'T GET IT !!!

  22. L.... M....

    This so cute

  23. M.... M....

    I will die for the ones I love..my big brother give me life and I will die doing anything for him ..I love my big brother...

  24. K.... H....

    I was told I'd never pass basic combat training. I'd never make it as a soldier, to all the non believers.

    This 100 pound 5 foot nothing girl made it! Charlie 2-13, September of 08!!! Soldier for life! My dream was mine to make real!

  25. r.... ....

    "Not every man lives" - Stephen Paddock

  30. H.... R....

  31. B.... E....

    thank-you for your service it's because you gave us your all I salute you

  32. W.... m....

    2nd that

  33. E.... O....

    This makes me think of my brother and my friends in Afghanistan

  34. C.... O....

    first off I love this song, and the US Military, but aside from the picture's on the video what part of this song (lyrically) corresponds with the Military?.. honestly just curious

  35. T.... M....

    being in combat is the most terrifying thing any man or woman could ever face. 19k all the way. love all of the veterans, the real hero's gave their life to save the man next to him.

  36. Z.... G....

    Hoorah to all vets

  37. N.... ....

    This song reminds me of my friend who past away recently he was 17 and this song I listen to religiously and he rode horses and it has a western sound ,that was his favorite sound

  38. M.... L....

    love Aldean​ wish I could see and meet him for first time

  39. f.... g....

    I lived through a deployment in the army

  40. C.... D....

    AMEN!! From this EX NAVY MAN! WESTERN COWBOY STILL FIGHTIN FOR LIFE! THREW HELL! AND STILL GOING ;-)

  41. M.... W....

    leave for basic tuesday at 0700 and arrive at ft sill at 1400 and hell begins

  42. C.... N....

    Our soldiers don't fight because they are forced to, its because they want to. GOD BLESS THE FALLEN ADN THE STANDIG. R.I.P. LOVE YA'LL.

  43. h.... D....

    They were all fighting for freedom.

  44. K.... G....

    the people that won't serve should be sad because family membranes go and leave there family's for a long time!

  45. R.... A....

    My favorite line in this song is have you ever met someone that you would die for because I have met lots and lots of that I would be willing to die for.

  46. D.... V....

    All Soldiers will Die, Some before others, some in Combat and some in bed at home, Sadly the truth is some are walking around us daily yet they are already dead inside from what they have seen or had to do, it is to those that never understand just what a Soldier Has to go through but can have a very hard time telling it to anyone so it is left bottled up inside like a cancer that slowly eats away at you

  47. j.... h....

    love this song i get sworn in to the army next wendsday cant wait

  48. R.... B....

    yep done all those things hitched a free ride on a train reached out for a dream except climbed a watertower to write a name 😡😧..!!

  49. D.... E....

  50. c.... p....

    Jason I love your music / with pan sessions your friend connie

  51. J.... B....

    thank you all who have served. the Constitution is a garentee for all us citizens for freedom. but freedom has been paid for with commitment, sacrifice, and the blood of patriots. everyone needs to stop a think about those who served and died for us all. thank you and God bless

  58. p.... V....

    The only way to get in shape WITHOUT WORKING OUT is to pull a flatbed....!!! That's lame that you use that as your line of fire... try driving a SEMI. The ultimate workout.

    It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived. George S. Patton

  72. B.... M....

    If any of you ever see someone steal valor, do me a favor and knock them on their ass

    B.... M....

    B Mouch1018
    I've done it twice and I'm only fifteen, and i think that if they have the balls to steal valor then they should enlist their stupid ass to go over seas

    B.... M....

    Just be careful though guys. I am a Combat Veteran and everytime someone finds that out they feel like they have to give me somekind of bullshit quiz. There are ways of going about shit. Just be tactful, there are ways of doing shit that won't offend.

    B.... M....

    My moms moms dad was in the army than a kid said he was in the army he said ill knock all you on your butts i said shut it ill fucking kick you you'll cry to your mommy.

    B.... M....

    Bran Mouch I will do so. Tired of people posing as a vet if they haven't joined the service

    B.... M....

    I wont just knock them on their ass...I will knock their ass right into next week.

  73. M.... W....

    M.... W....

    M.... W....

    @James Cutler squid how is he a squid he can live outside of water so therefor he is not a squid you must be a "jarhead" if not maybe army 😞😮😯😦..?? if you're calling him a squid

    M.... W....

    +Ryan Beers She, not he haha. Thanks for the backup though ;)

    M.... W....

    Agreed ever since I saw "top gun" I wanted to become a naval aviator or I wanted to become a navy seal after that it, it all went down the toilet thanks to a horrific car wreck (had and have seizures that are being controlled by medicine 😡😠..!!)

  74. J.... S....

    every soldier will eventually die but they will always live inside their memories they left behind. God bless the soldiers of the USA and may they never be forgotten because they are the protectors of this great nation

    J.... S....

    +rizaswolf thank you for serving this great nation as one of its protectors I will all ways salute soldiers because they are will to pay the price for protecting this great great nation God bless the USA and it's protectors

    J.... S....

    I think you intended to type inside the memories of those that loved them or do love them still even if they had or had not have passed on 😐☺😁😄😃😂..!!

    J.... S....

    Yes sir. Just don't forget the cold.

  75. T.... S....

    it is a good sing. I won't to be a singer

    T.... S....

    Then sing write songs play guitar and don't give up

  76. C.... L....

    This song makes me think about my worst fares for my uncle

  77. K.... D....

    My dad fought in Afghanistan he died 1 week after coming back dues to head trauma...

    K.... D....

    +Karli Davis sorry for your lose. But, it is the brave that made this country great. Bask in the greatness of your fathers sacrifice for all of us, but particularly for his family.

  78. c.... v....

    they fight becouse they love us

  79. I.... K....

    good song

  80. T.... B....

    I like the song and can. relate to it

  81. b.... c....

    i like this song i go basic soon cant wait to go over seas and fight hooah

  82. J.... H....

    I am a 16 year veteran of the United Sates Air Force and proud of it. I have been part of Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. I came back as a shell of myself but put on the happy face so others would not know the hell I have seen. I lived through my deployments but lost my carefree self. I can hardly leave the house to get food.

    J.... H....

    My dad used to be the same way he retires from the Navy this September but he still has nightmares about stuff that he won't talk about

    J.... H....

    Reach out Jason. Don't wall it off and don't block others out. I wasn't in your war and you weren't in mine, But what we have in common is a lot of similar ground. Keep walking through the fire man.

    J.... H....

    Hey man there are folks out there like me that will do anything for a returning soldier all you have to do is reach out to us and we are there

  83. S.... K....

    Well made video. I've tried making videos like this. Superb job. Thanks much for sharing.

  84. C.... F....

    lets just leave it at this the men that fight for us are all alone out there if you think about it those men are fighting for a country that's spoiled rotten and no one understands what their going through right now and on so when you see a military man/women shake their hand and say"thank you for your service ma'am or sir" just do that and see what they say

  85. C.... F....

    i love this video

  86. A.... I....

    I will gladly answer the call I may be some dumb Hick but I'm not afraid of dyin

    A.... I....

    A man who does not fear death is a fool. A man who fears death but faces it head on is courageous. You're just a damn fool for saying that

  87. C.... M....

    This song was about our journey.

  88. C.... M....

    Generation Kill, Is that not what the media called us ?

  89. F.... P....

    SEMPER FI!!!!!!!!!

  90. A.... A....

    Song is pretty savage!

  91. C.... H....

    First time hearing this Song.  Great Song and as a Veteran of both the Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns thank you for the video.

    C.... H....

    +Chuck Harris thank you for surving our country my grandfather was a sub vet for the ss remora so thank you very much

    C.... H....

    +Chuck Harris Hey Chuck, I want to say thank you so much for giving up everything to keep us safe. It means a tremendous amount to me and you have my utmost respect.

    C.... H....

    +Chuck Harris thank u for your service

    C.... H....

    Thanks for your service

  92. A.... B....

    " A soldier doesn't fight because he hates whats in front of him, he fights because he loves what he's left behind"

    A.... B....

    Thank you for that quote, it made me pause the song to think about it in more depth

    And thank you all that stand for the Anthem, the future of this country depends on you

    A.... B....

    Yes my brother we did not fight for mom and apple pie I was fighting for my buddy's on my lift and right

    A.... B....

    So true brother.

  93. M.... G....

    I would give my life up for my family

    M.... G....

    Mike Gee same I would do anything for my little sister

    M.... G....

    would you give it up for your country? I almost did but God had other plans for me I guess

    M.... G....

    I did my time and then some

  94. B.... B....

    One day is coming soon where the war will come here to America.
    Please let's all of us in this great nation called America begin to pray to the Almighty God in heaven for this day won't happened here in the near future

    B.... B....

    +Beanie Burnett if it does I will sign up and defend my home, heck im planning to sign up right now

    B.... B....

    I agree but when I turn 18 I'm signing up to help guard my home and I plan on fighting for the freedom we have and dying for it if I must

  95. C.... F....

    my dad served in the infantry for army for 18 years and i think of him everytime i hear this song cause it shows every detail in my dad i love him so much stay strong dad stay army strong *salute*

  96. D.... B....

    No man hath greater love than to lay down his life for another

  97. A.... A....

    Also Why does Hollywood potray that you need to fight in some grand war where people remember your name throughout the ages, or have  statue made in your honor to have truly lived? Why does life have to be a grand adventure? Isnt living a good life, and helping people, or even changing one persons life just as grand? Why does Hollywood potray that you need to die, and throw your life away a great thing? I think so Who are they to say what living life should truly be?

    A.... A....

    It's not saying you must die or do anything of the sort this song is merely portraying how most people never leave a comfort zone that they have. never take that gamble or sacrifice just to see what they're capable of.
