I've Lived a Lot in My Time

(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...
