I've Been Around
Marty Stuart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have been on the incoming
And the outward bound
I came up from the fields on
My hands and on my knees
I've been visited by angels while
The demons badgered me
And I guess I gave the
But I always come back back around to you
I have been around
And I have kissed the moonlight
On a priceless Pearl I found
Well I have been a counsellor and
I have been a fool
I've road me a wild horse and
I rode a Mark 2
I've been loved I've been bored
And I have been blue but I always come back
Back around ou you well alright
Well, I have been around
I have tasted raptures
That cannot again be found
I felt the power for and in
And I felt the power gone
I benn pulled but hungry and
Abandoned to the bone
But in the end I knew just
One thing to pull me through
Yeah, I always come back, come back
And back around you come on
