《I’ve Been Down That Road Before》歌词

[00:00:00] I've Been Down That Road Before - Porter Wagoner

[00:00:00] Now friends if you'll just listen to me

[00:00:02] You'll get some good hard earned advice

[00:00:05] I don't aim to meddle in your business

[00:00:07] I'm just trying to save you an awful price

[00:00:13] You see these teeth that I ain't got

[00:00:16] And these knots on my bald head

[00:00:19] I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get them

[00:00:21] There a lyin' home in bed

[00:00:25] Now take the smart aleck in any town

[00:00:28] Of him folks want no part

[00:00:31] He acts like his head was only

[00:00:33] Made to hold his ears apart

[00:00:39] Now he might not like what I'm about to say

[00:00:42] And my words you probably make him sore

[00:00:45] But I'm just trying to be helpful

[00:00:47] Cause I been down that road before

[00:00:54] To bully folks and play mean tricks

[00:00:57] Was once my pride and joy

[00:01:00] Till one day I was toted home

[00:01:03] And Mama didn't hardly know her little boy

[00:01:07] My head was swelled up so dog gone big

[00:01:11] I couldn't get it through my front door

[00:01:14] Now I ain't just talkin' just to hear myself

[00:01:17] I been down that road before

[00:01:21] A little fella about my size

[00:01:24] Got tired of bein' pushed about

[00:01:27] So he went to work and when he got through

[00:01:30] What he'd knocked everyone of my teeth out

[00:01:34] One time too many I rubbed him wrong

[00:01:37] And he should end up the score

[00:01:41] Now that's what happens

[00:01:42] When you get too big for your britches

[00:01:44] Oh I been down that road before

[00:01:49] Now when you get to thinking your really smart

[00:01:52] Well there's somebody smarter than you

[00:01:55] And no matter how much you boast and brag

[00:01:58] You can still learn a thing or two

[00:02:01] Go get you some treatments just like I've had

[00:02:04] And you won't hanker for more

[00:02:08] I've really learned the meaning of living and loving

[00:02:11] Cause I've been down that road before

[00:02:15] Now the man that walks this rocky road

[00:02:18] Usually gets just what he deserves

[00:02:22] Cause he's just a helpless servant

[00:02:25] To a master that he servers

[00:02:29] Now I've learned to slow my temper down

[00:02:32] And not to pick no scraps no more

[00:02:35] Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes

[00:02:38] Cause I've been down that road before
