I Relived My Life Today Lyrics - 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
