I've Been Down That Road Before - Hank Williams JR[00:00:00]
Now friends if you'll just listen to me[00:00:08]
You'll get some good hard earned advice[00:00:12]
I don't aim to meddle in your business[00:00:15]
I'm just trying to save ya an awful price[00:00:18]
You see these teeth that I ain't got[00:00:21]
And these knots on my bald head[00:00:24]
I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um'[00:00:27]
There a lyin' home in bed[00:00:31]
Now take the smart aleck in any town[00:00:34]
Of him folks want no part[00:00:37]
He acts like his head was only[00:00:40]
Made to hold his ears apart[00:00:42]
Now he might not like what I'm bout to say[00:00:47]
And my words might make him sore[00:00:50]
But I'm just trying to be helpful[00:00:53]
'Cause I been down that road before[00:00:56]
To bully folks and play mean tricks[00:01:00]
Was once my pride and joy[00:01:03]
Till one day I was toted home[00:01:06]
And mama didn't know her little boy[00:01:09]
My head was swelled up so doggone big[00:01:12]
I couldn't get it through my front door[00:01:16]
Now I ain't just talkin' ta hear myself[00:01:19]
I been down that road before[00:01:22]
A little fella about my size[00:01:26]
Got tired of bein' pushed about[00:01:29]
So he went to work and when he got through[00:01:32]
He'd knocked everyone of my teeth out[00:01:35]
One time too many I rubbed him wrong[00:01:38]
And he evened up the score[00:01:42]
Now that's what happens when you get too big for your britches[00:01:45]
I been down that road before[00:01:49]
Now when you get to thinking your really smart[00:01:53]
There's somebody smarter then you[00:01:57]
And no matter how much you boast and brag[00:02:00]
You can still learn a thing or two[00:02:03]
Go get you some treatments just like I've had[00:02:07]
And you won't hanker for more[00:02:10]
I've really learned the meaning of living and loving[00:02:13]
'Cause I've been down that road before[00:02:17]
Now the man that walks this rocky road[00:02:21]
Usually gets just what he deserves[00:02:25]
But he's just a helpless servant[00:02:28]
To a master that he servers[00:02:30]
Now I've learned to slow my temper down[00:02:35]
And not to pick no scraps no more[00:02:38]
Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes[00:02:41]
'Cause I've been down that road before[00:02:45]
