You Should Live My Life

Ferlin Husky · Just for You [Capitol] [1968]

(Jimmy Peppers)



I wish I could live long enough

To see you've hurt like me

It's not right but oh, tonight

I'm tired of misery.



You should have to pay a little

The way I've paid a lot

If you'd never know what torture ends

Then you should live my life.



Your coming should be just like mine

Nothing should be left out

There'd be so nuch of happness from inside

Your very soul would shout.



There would be no escape

You couldn't run into the night

If you think you know what torture ends

Then you should live my life.



If you think you've ever hurt like me

Then you should live my life...
