I've Been Down That Road Before (Album Version) - Hank Williams (小汉克威廉斯)[00:00:00]
Now friends if you'll just listen to me[00:00:25]
You'll get some good hard earned advice[00:00:28]
I don't aim to meddle in your business[00:00:32]
I'm just trying to save you an awful price[00:00:35]
You see these teeth that I ain't got[00:00:38]
And these knots on my bald head[00:00:42]
I'll guaranty you boys I never get them[00:00:45]
There a lyin' home in bed[00:00:48]
Now take the smart aleck in any town[00:00:53]
Of him folks want no part[00:00:56]
He acts like his head was only[00:00:59]
Made to hold his ears apart[00:01:01]
Now he might not like what I'm about to say[00:01:06]
And my words might make him sore[00:01:09]
But I'm just trying to be helpful[00:01:13]
Cause I been down that road before[00:01:17]
Now to bully folks and play mean tricks[00:01:21]
Was once my pride and joy[00:01:26]
Till one day I was toted home[00:01:29]
And mama didn't know her little boy[00:01:32]
My head was swelled up so dog gone big[00:01:36]
I couldn't get it through my front door[00:01:40]
Now I ain't talkin' just to hear myself[00:01:43]
Oh you see I been down that road before[00:01:47]
A little fella about my size[00:01:51]
Got tired of bein' pushed about[00:01:54]
So he went to work and when he got through[00:01:58]
What he'd knocked everyone of my teeth out[00:02:01]
One time too many I rubbed him wrong[00:02:05]
And he should end up the score[00:02:09]
Now that's what happens[00:02:12]
When you get too big for your britches[00:02:13]
Oh I been down that road before[00:02:16]
Now when you get to thinking your really smart[00:02:21]
Well there's somebody smarter than you[00:02:25]
And no matter how much you boast and brag[00:02:28]
You can still learn a thing or two[00:02:33]
I just go get you some treatments just like I've had[00:02:36]
And you won't hanker for more[00:02:40]
Cause I've really learned the meaning of living and loving[00:02:43]
Cause I've been down that road before[00:02:48]
Now the man that walks this rocky road[00:02:52]
Usually gets just what he deserves[00:02:56]
Cause he's just a helpless servant[00:03:00]
To a master that he servers[00:03:02]
Now I've learned to slow my temper down[00:03:08]
And not to pick no scraps no more[00:03:11]
Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes[00:03:15]
Cause I've been down that road before[00:03:19]
Anytime before[00:03:22]
