[E] [D]
[G]
Now friends, if you'll just listen to me, you'll get some good hard [C]-earned advice.
[D] I don't aim to meddle in your business, I'm just trying to save you an [G] awful price.
You see these teeth that I ain't got, and these knots on my [C] ball head?
[D] I'll guarantee you boys I didn't get them there, or lying home [G] in the bed.
Now take the smart aleck in any town, of him folks want [C] no part.
[D] He acts like his head was only made to hold his [G] ears apart.
Now he might not like what I'm about to say, and my words might [C] make him sore, [D] but I'm
just trying to be helpful, cause I've been down that [G] road before.
To bully folks and play mean tricks was once my [C] pride and joy, [D] till one day I was told
at home and mama didn't know her [G] little boy.
My head was swelled up so doggone big I couldn't get it through my front [C] door.
[D] Now I ain't just talking to hear myself, I've been down that road [G] before.
A little fella about my size got tired of being [C] pushed about, [D] so he went to work and
when he got through he knocked every one of my [G] teeth out.
One time too many I rubbed him wrong, and he even ended up to [C] score.
Now [D] that's what happens when you get too big for your britches, I've been down [G] that road before.
Now when you get to thinking you're really smart, there's somebody [C] smarter than you.
[D] And no matter how much you boast and brag, you can still [G] learn a thing or two.
Go get you some treatments just like I've had, and you won't hanker for [C] more.
I [D] really learned the meaning of living and loving, cause I've been down that [G] road before.
Now the man that walks this rocky road usually gets just what he [C] deserves, [D] but he's just
a heftless servant to a master that he [G] serves.
Now I've learned to slow my temper down and not to pick no scraps no [C] more.
[D] Boys it's a lot easier on the head and the eyes, cause [G] I've been down that [B] road before.
[G] [N]
