Johnny Van Zant - Been There Done That lyrics

rate me

I've seen the devil

Stared him straight in the eyes

Danced in his fire on my darkest nights

Laid in his garden an' I drank his wine

Slept with temptation to laugh at salvation

It almost saved me alive.

Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill

Ain't goin' back again

I was the life of every party

It nearly did me in

I was the baddest man you've ever seen

Lord, I wrote the book on sin

Yeah, I been down that road

I ain't goin' back again.

I caused more damage than a hurricane

I broke your heart an' didn't feel a thing. (I walked.)

Then walked away and cursed your name in vain. (Cursed your name.)

But with you as my witness

You gave me forgiveness

Now I've got a second chance.

Oh, I've been there done that, had my thrill

Ain't goin' back again

I was the life of every party

It nearly did me in

I was the baddest man that you've ever seen

Lord, I wrote the book on sin

Yeah, I been down that road.

He's knockin' at my door

Ain't walkin' round here no more

Been there, done that

Ain't goin' back again, no!

I was the baddest mother that you've ever seen

Lord, I wrote the book on sin

Been there, done that

Ain't goin' back again.

I was the life of every party

It nearly did me in

I was the baddest man that you've ever seen

Lord, I wrote the book on sin

Yeah, I been down that road

I ain't goin' back again, oh, no.

Been there, done that

I was the life of the party, yeah

(Been there, done that...)
