I've Been Down That Road Before

Now friends if you'll just listen to me

You'll get some good hard earned advice

I don't aim to meddle in your business

I'm just trying to save ya an awful priceYou see these teeth that I ain't got

And these knots on my bald head

I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um'

There a lyin' home in bedNow take the smart-Aleck in any town

Of him folks want no part

He acts like his head was only

Made to hold his ears apartNow he might not like what I'm bout to say

And my words might make him sore

But I'm just trying to be helpful

'Cause I been down that road beforeTo bully folks and play mean tricks

Was once my pride and joy

Till one day I was toted home

And mama didn't know her little boyMy head was swelled up so doggone big

I couldn't get it through my front door

Now I ain't just talkin' ta hear myself

I been down that road beforeA little fella about my size

Got tired of bein' pushed about

So he went to work and when he got through

He'd knocked everyone of my teeth outOne time too many I rubbed him wrong

And he evened up the score

Now that's what happens when you get too big for your britches

I been down that road beforeNow when you get to thinking your really smart

There's somebody smarter then you

And no matter how much you boast and brag

You can still learn a thing or twoGo get you some treatments just like I've had

And you won't hanker for more

I've really learned the meaning of living and loving

'Cause I've been down that road beforeNow the man that walks this rocky road

Usually gets just what he deserves

But he's just a helpless servant

To a master that he serversNow I've learned to slow my temper down

And not to pick no scraps no more

Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes

'Cause I've been down that road before

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
