That's Why I'm Here

[Verse 1]

Well I ain't had nothin' to drink

I knew that's probably what you'd think

If I'd drop by this time of night

Remember way back when

I promised you I'd drop in

At one of those meetings down at the "Y"

[Verse 2]

They started talking' about steps you take

Mistakes you make, the hearts you break

And the price you pay, I almost walked away

You could hear a pin drop

When this old man stood up

And said, "I'm gonna say it again

Like I do every week

For those who don't know me"

[Chorus]

It's the simple things in life

Like the kids at home and a loving wife

That you miss the most, when you lose control

And everything you love starts to disappear

The Devil takes your hand and says no fear

Have another shot, just one more beer

Yeah I've been there

That's why I'm here

[Verse 3]

This old boy stood up in the aisle

Said he'd been living' a life of denial

Then he cried, as he talked about wasted years

I couldn't believe what I heard

It was my life word for word

And all of the sudden, it was clear

[Chorus]

It's the simple things in life

Like the kids at home and a loving' wife

That you miss the most, when you lose control

And everything you love starts to disappear

The Devil takes your hand and says no fear

Have another shot, just one more beer

Yeah I've been there

That's why I'm here

[Bridge]

I know for us it may be too late

But it would mean the world to me

If you were there when I stand to say

[Chorus]

It's the simple things in life

Like the kids at home and a loving' wife

That you miss the most, when you lose control

And everything you love starts to disappear

The Devil takes your hand and says no fear

Have another shot, just one more beer

Yeah I've been there

That's why I'm here

[Outro]

Oh, I've been there

That's why I'm here
