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
