I've Been Down That Road Before - Porter Wagoner[00:00:00]
Now friends if you'll just listen to me[00:00:00]
You'll get some good hard earned advice[00:00:02]
I don't aim to meddle in your business[00:00:05]
I'm just trying to save you an awful price[00:00:07]
You see these teeth that I ain't got[00:00:13]
And these knots on my bald head[00:00:16]
I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get them[00:00:19]
There a lyin' home in bed[00:00:21]
Now take the smart aleck in any town[00:00:25]
Of him folks want no part[00:00:28]
He acts like his head was only[00:00:31]
Made to hold his ears apart[00:00:33]
Now he might not like what I'm about to say[00:00:39]
And my words you probably make him sore[00:00:42]
But I'm just trying to be helpful[00:00:45]
Cause I been down that road before[00:00:47]
To bully folks and play mean tricks[00:00:54]
Was once my pride and joy[00:00:57]
Till one day I was toted home[00:01:00]
And Mama didn't hardly know her little boy[00:01:03]
My head was swelled up so dog gone big[00:01:07]
I couldn't get it through my front door[00:01:11]
Now I ain't just talkin' just to hear myself[00:01:14]
I been down that road before[00:01:17]
A little fella about my size[00:01:21]
Got tired of bein' pushed about[00:01:24]
So he went to work and when he got through[00:01:27]
What he'd knocked everyone of my teeth out[00:01:30]
One time too many I rubbed him wrong[00:01:34]
And he should end up the score[00:01:37]
Now that's what happens[00:01:41]
When you get too big for your britches[00:01:42]
Oh I been down that road before[00:01:44]
Now when you get to thinking your really smart[00:01:49]
Well there's somebody smarter than you[00:01:52]
And no matter how much you boast and brag[00:01:55]
You can still learn a thing or two[00:01:58]
Go get you some treatments just like I've had[00:02:01]
And you won't hanker for more[00:02:04]
I've really learned the meaning of living and loving[00:02:08]
Cause I've been down that road before[00:02:11]
Now the man that walks this rocky road[00:02:15]
Usually gets just what he deserves[00:02:18]
Cause he's just a helpless servant[00:02:22]
To a master that he servers[00:02:25]
Now I've learned to slow my temper down[00:02:29]
And not to pick no scraps no more[00:02:32]
Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes[00:02:35]
Cause I've been down that road before[00:02:38]
