Once I Was lyrics

Once I was a soldier with a gun in a country far from home in the night Once I was a cowboy on the run Money for my life dead or alive Show me the life that's good Make it a life worth living I used to take it all But now is the time for giving Once I was a captain lost at sea My treasures drowning me, like a stone Once I was a gypsy with a guitar I never got too far, but I never tried Show me the life that's good Make it a life worth living I used to take it all But now is the time for giving You could say I've lived everything before But I've never been to a place like this You could say I've lived a thousand years or more But I've never felt quite like this
