Pieces of My Life [*] Songtext
von Elvis Presley

A water glass full of whiskey
Women that I never knew too well
Lord, the things I′ve seen and done
Most of which I'd be ashamed to tell

I don′t know how it started
That's what makes a man a man, I guess
Now I'm holdin′ on to nothin′
Tryin' to forget the rest

I′m lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away

Well, I′ve found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess, I threw the best parts away
Lord, away, away


Playing the bars, playing like a star
Anything to get a name
Carryin' on, livin′ on songs
My friends wrote for me to sing

I'm lookin' back on my life
To see if I can find the pieces
I know that some were stolen
And some just blew away

Well, I′ve found the bad parts
Found all the sad parts
But I guess, I threw the best parts away
Away, away

Lord, the pieces of my life
They′re everywhere, they're everywhere
And the one I miss most of all
Is you and you know who

Lookin′ back on my life, Lord
To see if I can find the pieces
Lookin' back on my life today
To see if I can find the pieces

Lookin′ back on my life
God, help me find the pieces
