Lyric 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...
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.

Oh, I ve lived a lot in my time.
I ve lived a lot in my time...
