Lyrics
"Been Down That Road Before"
I've been down that road before, chasing love under the neon lights,
Dancing with strangers, on those lonely nights.
Thought I found heaven in the arms that held me tight,
But those quick thrills just couldn't make it right.
Been down that road before, where love's a game of chance,
Rolling the dice, on wreckless romance
Choosing the wrong ones, thinking they'd be true,
Learning love's lessons hard, feeling so blue.
(so blue)
Caught up in the whiskey, blinded by the charm,
Falling for smooth talkers, causing heartache and harm.
Each wrong turn taught me what love shouldn't be,
Now I'm wiser, knowing true love looks for me.
Been down that road before, where love's a game of chance,
Rolling the dice, on wreckless romance
Choosing the wrong ones, thinking they'd be true,
Learning love's lessons hard, need to try something new
(something new)
But through the tears and the pain, I've found my way,
Learning to love myself, not led astray.
Now I see clear, the path to a love that's real,
No more chasing illusions, it's time to heal.
Been down that road before, where love's a game of chance,
Rolling the dice, on wreckless romance
Choosing the wrong ones, thinking they'd be true,
learning love's lessons hard, looking for you.
(looking for you)
No more wrong turns, I've found my way
I read the signs see clearly today
no more dead ends
Been down that road before
