I’ve Been Around - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I've been around

I used to sing songs that were hand-me-downs

I've been called a hero, I've been called a clown

I've learned the old ways and the new ways now

I've been around

I can drop names that will knock you down

I've rock and rolled and I've fiddled around

From Hollywood to the Nashville sound

I've been around

Climbed the highest mountain I found

I went to the top and I fell back down

And I know what I'm talking about

'Cause I've been around

I've been in love

I've been down on my knees and prayed to God above

Why does so much pain go with so much love?

Why is she still the one I'm dreaming of?

Yeah, I've been around

And the best two friends I've ever found

Are a woman's love and a guitar sound

And I know what I'm talking about

'Cause I've been around

Yeah, I've been around
