I'VE LIVED MY LIFE
(Lola Jean Dillon)


Dolly Parton - 1966
Lola Jean Dillon - 1974




        

I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

I left the country for the city
Thought I was smart, but I was silly
I should've known I'd get in trouble bein' so green
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

I met a boy and learned to love him
I would have done anything for him
I loved him more than anything I've ever seen
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

Only eighteen, but it's all over
I ruined my life to please my lover
I made him happy, he made me cry, then said goodbye
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen

(Instrumental Break)

Only eighteen, but it's all over
I ruined my life to please my lover
I made him happy, he made me cry, then said goodbye
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
I've lived my life and I'm only eighteen
