Porter Wagoner - I Relived My Life Today lyrics

Tonight my heart's as heavy as these cold gray walls of stone

Cause I know I'll see my last sunrise with tomorrow's early dawn

Cause an old gray haired judge said guity for your crime you must pay

So with the final curtain falling I relived my life today

From the time my mama tucked me so gently in my bed

And said son don't worry about tomorrow that's another dream ahead

To the sad eyed old barber that just shaved my head and slipped away

These're the first and final chapters of my life I relived today

I remember the prettiest girl I ever knew with big bue eyes and lips so sweet

How every Saturday back on the farm we'd go swimmin' in the creek

And the big tent revivals where all the neighbors would sing and pray

That's another chapter of my ife I relived today

There's my old faithful dog that walked in every step I made

Sometimes he'd folowed me to school

And just laid around there and wait in the shade

When my final class was over and on the way home we'd run and play

That's just another chapter of my life I relived today

My brother Jim died in his cradle some kinds of fever they didn't know what

Dad used to look at me and say son now you're the only little man I've got

But somewhere along life's pathway fate took my hand and I went astray

That's another chapter of my ife I relived today

Yes tonight my heart's as heavy as these cold gray walls of stone

Cause I know I'll see my last sunrise with tomorrow's early dawn

Cause an old gray haired judge said guity for your crime you must pay

So with the final curtain falling I relived my life today
