I Relived My Life Today Lyrics & Chords By Porter Wagoner

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
