|
It's a long, long way |
|
'Cause I've been there before |
|
It's a long, long way |
|
And I've been there before |
|
You prob'ly won't take no advice from me |
|
I never took none myself, you see |
|
It's just when you get older |
|
You'd like to pass some on but nobody's listening |
|
And it's a long, long way |
|
'Cause I've been there before |
|
It's a long, long way |
|
And I've been there before |
|
Why do we make the same mistakes |
|
Year after year, tear after tear? |
|
Just when we've learned a lesson or two |
|
It's the time when our life's almost through |
|
And it's a long, long way |
|
'Cause I've been there before |
|
It's a long, long way |
|
And I've been there before |
|
I ain't tryin' to be no saint |
|
Shoot I ain't even often right |
|
But I'm still here fightin' that good ol' fight |
|
So the only thing I'll say |
|
Don't give up on your dreams |
|
Or they will give up on you |
|
And it's a long, long way |
|
'Cause I've been there before |
|
It's a long, long way |
|
And I've been there before |
|
Thanks for takin' time to listen to an old man |
|
Your time is a valuable thing |
|
And I ain't tryin' to preach, I'm only passin' by |
|
And I hope you like the song that I sing |
|
And it's a long, long way |
|
'Cause I've been there before |
|
It's a long, long way |
|
And I've been there before |
|
And it's a long, long way |
|
'Cause I've been there before |
|
And I don't think I'm goin' there no more |
