I’ve Lived A Lot in My Time

100%

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
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
I 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
