I've Lived a Lot in My Time Songtext
von Bobby Bare

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

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
But 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
