I've Been There Songtext
von George Jones

By the time I noticed her
She was smilin′ at me
From where I stood
The mutual attraction was easy to see

Ten beers and 20 passes later
The bar tender said it was time to go
I was outta money, she stood and said
"Honey, I'm a-going home on my own"

Oh, I′ve been there, listen buddy, I've been there
I've been there when I thought I was livin′ a dream
And woke up in a real nightmare
Yessum, I′ve been there, let me tell you I've been there
Anywhere a woman can leave you, man, I′ve been there


My baby said, "Honey, you need a break
Why don't you take a little fishin′ trip?"
I loaded my old truck and as I drove away
She waved and kinda blew me a kiss

A couple days later when I got home
Was nothing left but a note on the door
It said, "I had to leave you
I need a man who'll stay home a little more"

Let me tell you, I′ve been there, hey buddy, I've been there
I've been there when I thought I was livin′ a dream
And woke up in a real nightmare
Oh, I′ve been there, I'm here to tell you, I′ve been there
'Bout anywhere a woman can leave you, man, I′ve been there

'Bout anywhere a woman can leave you, son, I′ve been there

Oh, I've been there
I've been there too, son, let me tell ya
I know what it′s all about
