Lyrics
A Life Well Spent
? 2009 Rodney Tompkins
I knew a man that always gave me a smile
He rode his Harley Bike, he loved his wife, man he could talk for quite a while
He seemed shy but he always shared his thoughts
About this life he loved, God and a Guitar he just bought
A Chef of Kings and he still served you and me
He was a Knight throughout his life and he gave unselfishly
In a life well spent
Is a life well lived
A life that takes from each and everyday
All it will give
One day he asked me did I enjoy my life
Did I love my wife, did I always try to do things right
Today I learned it was 25 years ago
Doc said he was marked and told he didn't have long to go.
In a life well spent
Is a life well lived
A life that takes from each and everyday
All it will give
A life well spent
Enjoys life's gifts
And in the end it always gives
More than it gets
In a life well spent there's joy
In a life well spent there's pain
A life well spent always breaks some eggs
Along its way
In a life well spent
Is a life well lived
A life that takes from each and everyday
All it will give
It's a life well spent
Then it's a life well lived
And in the end it always gives
More than it gets
It's a life well spent
Then it's a life well lived
A life that takes from each and everyday all it will give
A life well spent
