Through This World Of Mine Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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... 

On my way through this world of mine
