Been There Done That Lyrics

Van Zant Been There Done That

I've seen the devil, stared him straight in the eyes
Danced in his fire on my darkest nights
Laid in his garden and 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 that you've ever seen
Lord, I wrote the book on sin, yeah, I've been down that road
I ain't goin' back again

I caused more damage than a hurricane
I broke your heart and didn't feel a thing
Then walked away and cursed your name in vain
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've 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 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've been down that road
I ain't goin' back again, oh no, oh

Been there, done that
(I was the life of the party, yeah)
(Been there, done that)
Been there, done that
Been there, done that

Been there, done that
Been there, done that
