I’ve Lived a Lot in My Time Songtext
von Jim Reeves

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 had a sweetheart, but I was unfaithful
Oh, I've lived a lot in my time


I've fought the grim reaper down in the dark valley
I′ve 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

I've been a soldier, and I′ve been a rambler
Once thought that everything was fine
I've hoed in the corn fields, I′ve picked in the cotton
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time

I've walked with my master down in the dark valley
And wonderful peace I did find
Someday I′ll journey to Eden′s green pastures
Yes, I've lived a lot in my time
