Captain T (Tom Hunnicutt): Music

Been There – Done That
By Tom Hunnicutt

1st Verse
I met a man the other day, sittin’ on a log, whittling on a stick.
I set down beside him and said hey sir,
Tell me ‘bout the good of’ days, and the way it was back then.
He said, I picked a little cotton and bailed a little hay,
And worked in a factory for a while,
I even joined the service and traveled over seas,
But the best thing ‘bout the good ol’ days,
There gone and they won’t be back again.

Chorus
‘Cause I’ve Been There Done That, don’t wanta go back again.
I’ve Been There Done That and I paid for all my sins,
Been There Done That, don’t wanta go back again.
The best thing ‘bout the good ol’ days,
There gone and they won’t be back again.

2nd Verse
So I stopped to see my mother just to check in on her,
She was sitting there watching ol’ TV.
I sat down beside her and said, hey mom,
Tell me ‘bout the good ol’ days and the way it was back then.
She said, I picked a little cotton and bailed a little hay,
And I worked in a restaurant for a while,
I raised my family and I even joined the church,
But the best thing ‘bout the good ol’ days,
There gone and they won’t be back again.

3rd Verse
Now I’m a little older and I reckon I’ve changed,
Cause I like sitting on this old park bench.
I like it when the grand kids come by to visit me,
And say, gramps tell us ‘bout the good ol’ days and the way it was back then.
And I say, I picked a little cotton and I bailed a little hay,
And I worked in a factory for a while,
I’ve been hasseled and busted by all my ex-wives,
But the best thing ‘bout the good ol’d days,
There gone and they won’t be back again
