I've Been Down That Road Before Lyrics - Hank Williams Jr.

Now friends if you'll just listen to me 

You'll get some good hard earned advice 

I don't aim to meddle in your business 

I'm just trying to save ya an awful price 

You see these teeth that I ain't got 

And these knots on my bald head 

I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um' 

There a lyin' home in bed 

Now take the smart-Aleck in any town 

Of him folks want no part 

He acts like his head was only 

Made to hold his ears apart 

Now he might not like what I'm bout to say 

And my words might make him sore 

But I'm just trying to be helpful 

'Cause I been down that road before

To bully folks and play mean tricks 

Was once my pride and joy 

Till one day I was toted home 

And mama didn't know her little boy 

My head was swelled up so doggone big 

I couldn't get it through my front door 

Now I ain't just talkin' ta hear myself 

I been down that road before 

A little fella about my size 

Got tired of bein' pushed about 

So he went to work and when he got through 

He'd knocked everyone of my teeth out 

One time too many I rubbed him wrong 

And he evened up the score 

Now that's what happens when you get too big for your britches 

I been down that road before 

Photos 

Now when you get to thinking your really smart 

There's somebody smarter then you 

And no matter how much you boast and brag 

You can still learn a thing or two 

Go get you some treatments just like I've had 

And you won't hanker for more 

I've really learned the meaning of living and loving 

'Cause I've been down that road before 

Now the man that walks this rocky road 

Usually gets just what he deserves 

But he's just a helpless servant 

To a master that he servers 

Now I've learned to slow my temper down 

And not to pick no scraps no more 

Boys its a lot easier on the head and the eyes 

'Cause I've been down that road before
