Been Here Before

Some days I feel so different

It's like I don't fit in

Some kids like the greatest hits

But I dig Guitar Slim

Some days I wake up grateful

Some days I'm not so sure

I can still hear grandma saying

"Child, you've been here before"

I don't know where I came from

Or how I got this way

Momma said the sky lit up

With lightning on my birthday

I've always been different

There's one thing that's for sure

I can still hear grandma saying

"Child, you've been hear before"

Looking back I wonder

'Bout all the things I've done

No one seems to be sure

Where I came from

I can still hear grandma praying

And she'd be talking to the Lord

She'd say, "Child, if I know one thing

You've been here before"

I can't find the footprints

I can't even find no tracks

I don't have no proof

How I made it back

People always tell me

"Boy, you know you've got an old soul"

I can still hear grandma saying

"Child, you've been here before"

I might have been a rooster

I might have been a goat

I might have been the king of the jungle

A long, long time ago

All I know is that some blessings

Follow me everywhere I go

I can still hear grandma saying

"Child, you've been here before"

One day down the road

When I get to heaven's door

I hope I hear grandma saying

"Kingfish, you've been here before"
