It's A Long, Long Way Lyrics - You Can't Teach An Old Dog New Tricks - Seasick Steve

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
