Life In A Song

I've been up on a mountain for a while

But now the time is gone

I've been in the valley for a while

But I know it won't be long

No one told me of the trouble I'd see

No one told me right from wrong

That's life in a song

Good time women and an old faithful dog

Lost in the mountains, can't find my way home

Sleeping in canyons and a love that can't go wrong

That's life in a song

I've been locked in a prison for a crime

I know I couldn't do

I built a home of the finest wood and stone

Just to prove how much I loved you

Over and over, all the stories have changed

But it was me all along

That's life in a song

Good time women and an old faithful dog

Lost in the mountains, can't find my way home

Sleeping in canyons and a love that can't go wrong

That's life in a song

Men tell about me in the songs that they sing

The story changes, but the melody still rings

I'll live forever if there's words to sing along

That's life in a song

Over and over, all the stories have changed

But it was me all along

That's life in a song

That's life in a song
