That's Why I'm Here

Well, I ain't had nothing to drink I knew that's probably what you'd think If I dropped by this time of night Remember way back when I promised you I'd drop in At one of those meetings down at the while And they started talkin' 'bout steps you take Mistakes you make, the hearts you break And the price you pay, I almost walked away And 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" 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 This ol' boy stood up in the aisle Said he'd been living a life of denial And 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 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 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 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 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 Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
