Through This World Of Mine

I've crossed many valleys that I'd always find
Another mountain much higher to climb
I've wasted so much time where the sun never shines
On my way through this world of mine

I've oded a lot of hinges on a lot of swingin' gates
And I've cored many seeds from some mighty juicy grapes
But I've turned a lot of corners just a little bit too late

On my way through this world of mine
On my way through this world I had to pass your house
So part of my life was wasted there

And I've lived a lot of times on the thin side of a dime
On my way through this world of mine
But if I can crawl back in my cradle and walk this rocky world again

I'd smile at every detour that's waitin' round the bend
'Cause you've gotta taste the bitter to appreciate the sweet
It takes combination to make life complete

I've crossed many valleys that I'd always find
Another mountain much higher to climb
I've wasted so much time where the sun never shines
On my way through this world of mine

On my way through this world of mine
