Lyrics

Things I've Seen and Done
Verse 1
I met this man much older
Than other men I've known
He spoke of so much in his past
I wondered at my own
For nothing was in common
This man had seen the lot
I asked him how he knew so much
He told this simple plot

Chorus
It's my time on earth, my journey
Places that I've been
That paint the bigger picture
Incidentally, in between
I've shrugged my share of trouble
Hugged my slice of fun
Now all you're looking at in me
Is things I've seen and done

Verse 2
We strung close hours together
A beer, a wine, a smoke
Light rain that started misty-soft
Cascaded as he spoke
As if in orchestration of
Bold tales he had to tell
Applauded by loud thunder storms
That clapped as hailstones fell


Chorus
It's my time on earth, my journey
Little things I've seen
That paint the bigger picture
Incidentally, in between
I've shrugged my share of trouble
Hugged my slice of fun
Now all you're looking at in me
Is things I've seen and done

Bridge:
Yes all you see in me he said
Is everywhere I've been
It's everything I've ever done
Each and every scene
Learning curve behind me now
My life's a ball of fun
I'm pleased to pass this on to you
With your life bare begun
Chorus
It's my time on earth, my journey
Little things I've seen
That paint the bigger picture
Incidentally, in between
I've shrugged my share of trouble
Hugged my slice of fun
Now all you're looking at in me
Is things I've seen and done
Verse 4
I want to be just like this man
Things he's done and seen
As I grow up and older
Incidentally in between
I'll shrug off all my troubles
Hug my slice of fun
Then all you'll see in me will be
Things I've seen and done
Shrug off all my troubles
Hug my slice of fun
Yeah all you'll see in me will be
Things I've seen and done
Things I've seen and done
Yeah yeah yeah
Things I've seen and done
Things
I've seen and done
