Lyrics I've Lives a Lot In My Time - 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...
