I've Been Down That Road Before (Single Version) - Hank Williams (小汉克威廉斯)[00:00:00]
Now friends if you'll just listen to me[00:00:09]
You'll get some good[00:00:12]
Hard earned advice[00:00:13]
I don't aim to meddle[00:00:15]
In your business[00:00:16]
Just trying to save ya an awful price[00:00:18]
You see these teeth that I ain't got[00:00:22]
And these knots on my bald head[00:00:24]
I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um'[00:00:28]
There a lying home in the 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[00:00:41]
Made to hold his ears apart[00:00:43]
Now he might not like what[00:00:47]
I'm bout to say and my words[00:00:48]
Might make him sore[00:00:51]
But I'm just trying to be helpful[00:00:54]
Cause I been down[00:00:57]
That road before[00:00:57]
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[00:01:07]
And mama didn't know[00:01:10]
Her little boy[00:01:11]
My head was swelled up[00:01:13]
So doggone big[00:01:14]
I couldn't get it through my front door[00:01:16]
Now I ain't just talking[00:01:19]
Ta hear myself[00:01:21]
I been down that road before[00:01:23]
A little fella about my size[00:01:26]
Got tired of being pushed about[00:01:29]
So he went to work[00:01:33]
And when he got through[00:01:34]
He'd knocked everyone of my teeth out[00:01:35]
One time to many I rubbed him wrong[00:01:39]
And he even'd up the score[00:01:43]
Now that's what happens when you[00:01:46]
Get too big for your britches[00:01:47]
I been down that road before[00:01:50]
Now when you get[00:01:54]
To thinking your really smart[00:01:55]
There's somebody smarter then you[00:01:58]
And no matter[00:02:01]
How much you boast and brag[00:02:01]
You can still learn a thing[00:02:04]
Or two Go get you some treatments[00:02:08]
Just like I've had[00:02:09]
And you won't hanker for more[00:02:11]
I've really learned[00:02:14]
The meaning of living and loving[00:02:15]
Cause I've been down[00:02:18]
That road before[00:02:19]
Now the man[00:02:22]
That walks this rocky road[00:02:23]
Usually gets just what he deserves[00:02:26]
But he's just a helpless servant to[00:02:29]
A master that he servers[00:02:33]
Now I've learned[00:02:36]
To slow my temper down[00:02:36]
And not to pick no scraps no more[00:02:39]
Boys it's a lot easier[00:02:43]
On the head and the eyes[00:02:44]
Cause I've been down[00:02:46]
That road before[00:02:47]
