Jim Reeves - I've Lived A Lot In My Time

I ONCE HAD A MANSION AND LIVED IN MY GLORY,
BUT NOW I`M DOWN TO MY LAST DIME,
I HAD A SWEETHEART, BUT I WAS UN-FAITHFUL,
OH, I`VE LIVED A LOT IN MY TIME.
I`VE FOUGHT THE GRIM REAPER, DOWN IN THE DARK VALLEY,
I`VE PRAYED WHEN THE SUN WOULDN`T SHINE,
I`VE LOOKED THROUGH THE BARS OF A COLD LONELY PRISON,
OH, I`VE LIVED A LOT IN MY TIME.
I`VE BEEN A SOLDIER, AND I`VE BEEN A RAMBLER,
ONCE THOUGHT THAT EVERYTHING WAS FINE,
I`VE HOED IN THE CORN AND I`VE PICKED IN THE COTTON,
YES, I`VE LIVED A LOT IN MY TIME.
I`VE WALKED WITH MY MASTER, DOWN IN THE DARK VALLEY,
AND WONDERFUL PEACE I DID FIND,
SOMEDAY I`LL JOURNEY TO EDEN`S GREEN PASTURES,
YES, I`VE LIVED A LOT IN MY TIME.
