"In Another Lifetime" is a song written by Chris Hillman and Steve Hill, and recorded by American country rock band The Desert Rose Band. It was released in February 1990 as the second single from the band's album Pages of Life.

Released as the second single release from the Pages of Life album, "In Another Lifetime" gave the band another top 20 hit, although it was the band's third single since 1987 to miss the top 10 on the American Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart. The single peaked at number 13 on the American Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart for a total of 11 weeks. In Canada, the song peaked at number 18 on the RPM Country Singles Chart in mid-June 1990. The single lasted for a total of 13 weeks after debuting at number 99 in late April 1990.

The song was written by the band's frontman Chris Hillman and frequent collaborator Steve Hill. It was produced by both Paul Worley and Ed Seay who had produced all five of the band's albums, except for late 1991’s True Love, whilst only Worley produced the band's self-titled 1987 debut.

For the Page of Life album, Curb Records released a press release, which spoke of the song, quoting Hillman, who stated "...but then you take a song like "In Another Lifetime" and you've got John Jorgenson playing guitar like Eric Clapton."

In 2009, a MP3 only karaoke version of the song was created and released by Stingray Music, which included an instrumental version as well as a demonstration version which included lead vocals. This karaoke song featured on an album of three other Desert Rose Band tracks from the Page of Life album; "Story of Love", "Start All Over Again" and "Time Passes Me By". The version was re-released again in December 2011 and September 2012 under the artist name Done Again through Stingray Music.

The single was released in America and Canada only, via Curb Records (under MCA), on 7" vinyl and cassette. The single featured the Pages of Life album track "Just a Memory" as the B-Side, which was written by Hillman and band's lead guitarist John Jorgenson. Aside from the main 7" vinyl release, a promotional 7" vinyl single was also released, featuring "In Another Lifetime" on both sides. The Cassette version featured both the a-side and b-side tracks on each side of the tape.

Although both 7" vinyl releases featured no artwork, the single was issued in a standard MCA Records coloured sleeve.

In release with the single, the song was also given a sheet music release.
