It's a long long way, cause I been there before
It's long long way and I been there before
You probably 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 is listening
And it's long long way cause I been there before
It's a long long way and I 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 been there before
It's a long long way and I been there before
I ain't trying to be no saint, shoot I ain't even often right
But I'm still here fighting that good old fight
So the only thing I'm saying, don't give up on your dreams
Or they will give up on you
And it's a long long way cause I been there before
It's a long long way and I been there before
Thanks for taking time to listen to an old man
Your time is a valuable thing
And I ain't trying to preach, I'm only passing by
And I hope you like the song that I sing
And it's long long way cause I been there before
It's a long long way and been there before
And it's long long way cause I been there before
And I don't think I'm going there no more
