Lyrics I've Lived a Lot in My Time (Remastered) - 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 would′nt 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
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...
