Verse
As life rolls along
And time passes by
More and more, I realize
Some things we think important
Don’t matter very much
They’re often times distractions and lies

Chorus
I’ve been around the world
Watched the world turn
Traveled endless highways
Hard lessons I have learned
I don’t seek fame or fortune
Those things aren’t for me
The most precious things in life
Are treasured memories

Verse
Each morning when I wake up
I give thanks to the Lord
He gives me all I need, I shall not want for more
And as I lay me down to sleep
I thank him for the day
And ask him for forgiveness once more

Chorus
I’ve been around the world
Watched the world turn
Traveled endless highways
Hard lessons I have learned
I don’t seek fame or fortune
Those things aren’t for me
The most precious things in life
Are treasured memories

Bridge
Diamonds and gold
Are for fool-hearty souls
The treasures in heaven
Are worth more than gold

Chorus
I’ve been around the world
Watched the world turn
Traveled endless highways
Hard lessons I have learned
I don’t seek fame or fortune
Those things aren’t for me
The most precious things in life
Are treasured memories

Outro
The most precious things in life
Are treasured memories
