Been There, Done That
Life's Tapestry: Hank Jr.'s Journey in Every Note
Lyrics
Been there,done that.Every spot on the map.
Experienced a wide range of situations and locations.
See these lines on my face and these bones out of place.
Physical signs of aging and wear, indicating a life full of experiences.
I got dirt on my hat, been blessed and cussed at.
Worn hat with dirt symbolizes the challenges faced; experienced both positive and negative reactions.
No brag,just fact.Been there,done that.
Not boasting, just stating the reality of having a rich and varied life.
I wear old blue jeans.They got holes in the seams.
Choosing comfort over appearance; embracing imperfections in life.
I've got boots made of brass.Kicked a whole lot of,you know what I mean.
Boots made of brass indicate toughness; kicked through various challenges.
I've been up and down,both sides of the town.
Travelled extensively and experienced all aspects of life.
I'm stating the facts.Been there,done that.
Asserting the truth of the experiences without exaggeration.
Been there,done that.Every town on the map.
Visited every town on the map, emphasizing a well-travelled life.
See these lines on my face and these bones out of place.
Reiteration of physical signs of aging and life experiences.
I got mud on my hat.I've been blessed and cussed at.
Mud on the hat signifies going through tough situations and facing criticism.
I ain't no pussy cat.Been there,done that.
Asserting toughness and resilience; not easily intimidated.
Guess there's only one thing. Keeps a man like me going.
Reflecting on the singular motivation that keeps the narrator going.
Gets my attention right now.Well, you know what I'm talking about,
Expressing a current focus on something attractive and captivating.
A pretty green eyed queen dolled up in tight jeans.
Describing an appealing woman in tight jeans.
It makes my heart beat fast,'cause I've been there and done that.
Heartbeat acceleration due to familiarity with such attractions.
Been there,done that.Every joint on the map.
Visited every entertainment venue on the map.
See these lines on my face and these guitar pickin' fingers way out of place.
Physical signs of aging related to playing the guitar extensively.
I got mud on my hat.I've been blessed and cussed at.
Reiteration of facing challenges, criticism, and maintaining resilience.
Don't put up with no crap.
Refusal to tolerate unnecessary problems or mistreatment.
Been there,done that
Reiteration of a life filled with diverse experiences.
