Somedays 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
Somedays I'm no so sure

I cant still hear grandma saying
Child, you've been here before

I don't know where I came from
Or how I got this way
Mamma said the sky lit up
With lightning on my birthday
I've always been different
That's one thing that's for sure

I can still hear grandma saying
Child, you've been here 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 no 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've got me 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
I know is that some blessings
Follow me everywhere I go

I cant still hear grandma saying
Child, you 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
