Artist/Band: Tammy Wynette
Lyrics for Song: I Wasn't Meant to Live My Life Alone
Lyrics for Album: Tears of Fire: The 25th Anniversary Collection [Epic] [1992]



Tammy Wynette & Vince Gill

(Paul Overstreet)



All the times I've fallin' victim to my pride

Patiently, you have waited by my side

My guiding light through my darkest night

You're the one thing I do right.



No, I wasn't meant to live my life alone

The load is just too heavy

And the road is just too long

When I try to do it all myself

It always turns out wrong

No, I wasn't meant to live my life alone.



But I've tried

A million times to take control

But I find

I always dig myself a hole

And there I stand with a broken plan

Reachin' for your hand.



'Cause I wasn't meant to live my life alone

The load is just too heavy

And the road is just too long

When I try to do it all myself

I find I'm not that strong.



No, I wasn't meant to live my life

I wasn't meant to live my life

I wasn't meant to live my life alone...


I Wasn't Meant to Live My Life Alone

Tammy Wynette's 1992 release 'I Wasn't Meant to Live My Life Alone' stands as a poignant addition to her catalog of country ballads. Recorded for the 'Tears of Fire: The 25th Anniversary Collection,' the track exemplifies her signature ability to weave personal narrative with universal themes of heartbreak and resilience. As a defining voice of the genre, Wynette brought a raw emotional depth to the recording that resonated deeply with audiences during the early 1990s. The song reflects her continued mastery of storytelling, capturing the quiet sorrow of a woman navigating life without her partner. It remains a testament to her enduring legacy in country music, showcasing her skill in crafting melodies that linger in the memory long after the final note fades.
