Lyrics for Song: I've Lived a Lot in My Time
Lyrics for Album: All-American Boy [Bear Family] [1994]
(Jack Rhodes - Dick Reynolds - 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 once had a sweetheart but I was unfaithful
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time.
I fought the Grim Reaper down in the dark valley
I 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.
--- Instrumental ---
I've been a soldier and I've been a rambler
I once thought that everything was fine
I've hoed in the cornfield I've picked in the cotton
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time.
I've walked with our Master down in the dark valley
And wonderful peace I did find
BBut now some day I'll journey to Eden's green pastures
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time.
I've lived a lot in my time...
