(Don Gibson)

If heartaches brought fame in love's crazy game
I'd Be a Legend in My Time
If they gave gold statues for tears and regrets
I'd be a legend in my time.

But they don't give awards and there's no praise nor fame
For a heart that's been broken over love that's in vain
If loneliness meant world acclaim then everyone would know my name
I'd be a legend in my time.
