Been Here Before
Christone "Kingfish" Ingram Lyrics
Some days I feel so different
It's like I don't fit in
Some kids like the greatest hits
But I dig Guitar Slim
Some days I wake up grateful
Some days I'm not so sure
I can still hear grandma saying
"Child, you've been here before"
I don't know where I came from
Or how I got this way
Momma said the sky lit up
With lightning on my birthday
I've always been different
There's one thing that's for sure
I can still hear grandma saying
"Child, you've been hear before"
Looking back I wonder
'Bout all the things I've done
No one seems to be sure
Where I came from
I can still hear grandma praying
And she'd be talking to the Lord
She'd say, "Child, if I know one thing
You've been here before"
I can't find the footprints
I can't even find no tracks
I don't have no proof
How I made it back
People always tell me
"Boy, you know you've got an old soul"
I can still hear grandma saying
"Child, you've been here before"
I might have been a rooster
I might have been a goat
I might have been the king of the jungle
A long, long time ago
All I know is that some blessings
Follow me everywhere I go
I can still hear grandma saying
"Child, you've been here before"
One day down the road
When I get to heaven's door
I hope I hear grandma saying
"Kingfish, you've been here before"
