Been There Done That

from Web In The Corner by Colette O'Connor

/

about

Living sure has variety. Challenges faced and figured out are shared in this song of perspective. This upbeat, care free song can relate. Fast, fun finger style guitar work in this is exquisite. The chord flavors are delicious. The vocals are by a pure and rich female alto soloist, and the lyrics sing of real life experience.

lyrics

Life as a care free rover means that I’m starting over,
that's fine, here I go again.
It’s all just what I’ve made it, nothing too complicated.
Things all work out in the end.

‘Cause I know now what happened then.
I’m all right where I’m at because I've been there, and done that.

Married at seventeen, it wasn't a teenage dream but motherhood
was good for me. We had a happy home, though I raised the kids alone, love made our family.

And I know now what happened then. I’m all right where I’m at because I’ve been there, and done that.
Yes I’ve been there, and done that.

Been right being wrong.
Been weak being strong.
Got wise when the day was done; the lesson’s what I won.

For the all-mighty dollar, I wore a heavy collar,
sometimes in white or in blue.
Working for fruits of labor, lost like a drunken sailor,
treasure that I never knew.

But I know now, what happened then. I’m all right where I’m at because I’ve been there, and done that.
Yes, I’ve been there and done that.

Been broke and abused.
Done everything I thought I had to do.
Been best when the worst got done. The lesson’s what I won.

Been there and done it over; now I’m a carefree rover,
thankful for all that I see.
Nothing too complicated, loving that I have made it perfect in simplicity.

Don’t matter, where the wind will blow. Storms always pass.
I’ll follow where my heart will go…’cause I’ve been there, and done that.
Yeah, I’ve been there and done that.
