Gene Watson - I've Been Down Some Roads Lyrics






The cracks that run across the wall and fall down to the floor
Are something in this hotel room they aren't charging for
But I've paid the price for what they meant to me I've been down some roads

For the wall looks like a roadmap and a picture of my life
I never stopped to settle down and take myself a wife
I spit the seeds and threw away the rind I've been down some roads

And late at night it comes to mind forgotten times and places
Names no longer cross my mind I still recall their faces
And I bow my head and see the feet that somehow never slowed
I've been down some roads I've been down some roads

And I've been up some highways and I've been down some lows
Right now I'm feeling just as down as any man could go
At first the miles were kind but new they show I've been down some roads

And late at night it comes to mind
I've been down some roads I've been down some roads

    The cracks that run across the wall and fall down to the floor
    Are something in this hotel room they aren't charging for
    But I've paid the price for what they meant to me
    I've been down some roads

    For the wall looks like a roadmap and a picture of my life
    I never stopped to settle down and take myself a wife
    I spit the seeds and threw away the rind
    I've been down some roads

    And late at night it comes to mind forgotten times and places
    Names no longer cross my mind I still recall their faces
    And I bow my head and see the feet
    that somehow never slowed
    I've been down some roads, I've been down some roads
    ------------
    And I've been up some highways
    and I've been down some lows
    Right now I'm feeling just as down as any man could go
    At first the miles were kind
    now they show I've been down some roads

    And late at night it comes to mind forgotten times and places
    Names no longer cross my mind but I still recall their faces
    And I bow my head and see the feet somehow never slowed
    I've been down some roads, I've been down some roads
    I've been down some roads, I've been down some roads...

    What a song!!! I love the phrasing, the thoughtfulness, the soft music and smoothe voice, the soulfness,. "forgotten times and places" . don't we all think like this from time to time????

    This is another song I've never heard before. Thank you Margaret for this link. Gene sounds wonderful as always. This song may apply to many of us and bring up a few memories or so. It sounds a little sad but it does have the emotion that Gene always brings to his music. Thank you for posting this. - Paula
