Lyrics

Son, Don't Go Where I've Been

When I was twenty years old I asked for his adivce
Advice I was sure would change my life
Well I'm sitting here now wondering what to do
And he said, "Son wait for the one God made you"
And that's what I will do

Chorus:
And he said, "Son, I've lived a lot, a gambler I'm not
I'll tell it like it is and I'll give you what I've got
'Cause I've been through a few situations like you're in...
Son, don't go where I've been

Then I said, "Daddy, what about this car?"
And he said, "Son, she won't take you very far"
And I said, "Daddy, what about them bars?
And he said, "Son, they change who you are and you won't get very far"

Chorus

Now I've seen all the good and bad he's done
And I pray some day that God gives me a son
A son, kinda like my dad, so I can show him good from bad
'Cause I can't wait to say...

Son, I've lived a lot, a gambler I'm not
I'll tell it like it is and give you what I've got
'Cause I've been through a few situations like you're in...
Son, don't go where I've been.
