Invincible Lyrics
I said don’t do it babe,
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
September first 2003
It took the life right out of me
Hung up the phone and raced out the door, broken
I tried to believe that it wasn’t true
But in my heart I always knew
Being the life of the party would catch up to you
Your family was waiting and crying for 3 damn hours
I said don’t do it babe,
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
Everything’s good on the straightaway
But you took that turn doing 85 in a 35
Why babe?
Every time I’m home I pass that road
Driving alone and the street feels cold
Seein your face yeah it’s haunting me
My mind goes crazy trying to figure out
Just where you’d be 4 years from now
And what you were thinking when the lights came down
The doctors were trying to save you for 3 damn hours
I said don’t do it babe,
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
Everything’s good on the straightaway
But you took that turn doing 85 in a 35
Why babe?
Whoever said that life was fair
When you live with out a care
When you’re invincible
When you’re invincible
When you’re invincible
Who thinks about leaving when you’re living
I said don’t do it babe,
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
Everything’s good on the straightaway
But you took that turn, doing 85 in a 35
I said don’t do it babe,
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
It took the life right out of me
Hung up the phone and raced out the door, broken
I tried to believe that it wasn’t true
But in my heart I always knew
Being the life of the party would catch up to you
Your family was waiting and crying for 3 damn hours
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
But you took that turn doing 85 in a 35
Why babe?
Driving alone and the street feels cold
Seein your face yeah it’s haunting me
My mind goes crazy trying to figure out
Just where you’d be 4 years from now
And what you were thinking when the lights came down
The doctors were trying to save you for 3 damn hours
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
But you took that turn doing 85 in a 35
Why babe?
When you live with out a care
When you’re invincible
When you’re invincible
When you’re invincible
Who thinks about leaving when you’re living
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way
But you took that turn, doing 85 in a 35
Said it aint worth the pain
But you did it anyway
4 or 5 drinks and you were on your way

does anybody know if this song is based on a true story or not?
According to Jesse's Myspace, it is.
read in a mag dat itz bout jesse's fwen hu died in a car accident
straight from his myspace about me section.
But make no mistake, this is Jesse’s project through and through, as one listen to the deeply personal "Invincible," which features a sparse vocal backed by a 15-piece orchestra, clearly demonstrates. "It’s a really heavy song about a buddy of mine who died in a drinking and driving accident three years ago," Jesse explains. "I felt like I had to put that on the record because it contains such an important message for kids my age, which is to think before they drink and drive. It's so powerful that they'll have to listen."
but yeah this song hits close to home with me. since we had a couple of students from my school died in driving accidents, and another in drinking accident.
it's true. i went to his concert and he said it was a true story from 3 years ago when he was 16. and he cried during singing it
