Lyrics
Where You Have Been
S. Domer, S. Loveall c2017
Open up your scrapbook, let me see where you have been
Show me the hard times, show me the sins
Did you find your life’s calling, did you smile back from the mirror
Or did you hide, narrowly living, some salvation nearer
Let me see where you have been
Let me see where you have been
Open up your suitcase let me see what you have packed,
Are you living safe in the pockets, or thirsty to attack?
Did you grow wise and learned, did you love the one you’re with?
Did you live strong and thrive, or did you just plead the fifth?
Let me see where you have been
Let me see where you have been
Bridge:
Show me all the things that you have done
Show me all the places you have gone
Some that you may never see again
So let me see where you have been
solos
Open up your journal, are there snapshots from Cancun?
Or wistful would-a, could-as hummed to melancholy tunes
So open up your scrapbook, let me see where you have been
Show me the hard times, show me the sins
Let me see where you have been
Let me see where you have been
Solos and fade
