Been There Done That

from I Think I Am by Colette O'Connor

/

about

Living sure has variety. Challenges faced and figured out are shared in this song of perspective. Maybe you can relate? Fast, fun, and the finger style guitar work keeps up quite nicely.

lyrics

Life as a carefree 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
and I know now,
what happened then, and 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 us a family.

and I know now,
what happened then,
and I'm alright where I'm at because
I've been there and done that,
ya, 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 almighty dollar,
I wore a heavy collar
sometimes in white, or in blue
Working for fruits of labor
Lost like a drunken sailor
Treasure I never knew

but I know now,
what happened then,
and I'm alright where I'm at because
I've been there and done that,
ya, I've been there and done that

been broke and abused
done everything I thought I had to do
got best, when the worst was 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 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.
Ya, I've been there and done that.
