[Verse 1]
G                                                                           C
Now friends if you'll just listen to me, you'll get some good hard earned advice
D                                                                           G
I don't aim to meddle in your business, I'm just trying to save ya an awful price
                                                                C
You see these teeth that I ain't got and these knots on my bald head
     D                                                             G
I'll guaranty you boys I didn't get um', there a-lyin' home in the bed

[Verse 2]
G
Now take the smart-Aleck in any town, of him folks want no part
C   D
 He acts like his head was only made, to hold his ears apart
G
 Now he might not like what I'm bout to say and my words might make him sore
C    D
 But I'm just trying to be helpful, 'Cause I been down that road before

[Verse 3]
G                                                         C
 To bully folks 'n play mean tricks, was once my pride 'n joy
     D
Till one day I was toted home and mama didn't know her little boy
G
 My head was swelled up so doggone big, I couldn't get it through my front door
C      D
 Now I ain't just talkin' ta hear myself, I been down that road before

[Verse 4]
G
 A little fella about my size, got tired of bein' pushed about
C      D
 So he went to work and when he got through, he'd knocked everyone 'o my teeth out
G
 One time too many I rubbed him wrong and he evened up the score
C           D                                                                            G
 Now that's what happens when you get too big for your britches, I been down that road before

[Verse 5]
G                                                                            C
Now when you getta thinkin' your really smart, there's somebody smarter than you
       D                                                                  G
And no matter how much you boast and brag, you can still learn a thing 'o two
G
Go get ya some treatments just like I've had and you won't hanker for more
C            D                                          G
 I've really learned the meanin' of livin' and luvin', 'cause I been down that road before

[Verse 6]
G
Now the man that walks this rocky road, usually gets just what he deserves
C         D
 But he's just a helpless servant, to a master that he serves
G
 Now I've learned to slow my temper down and not to pick no scraps no more
C         D                                                               G
 Boys its a lot easier on the head 'n the eyes, 'cause I been down that - road before
