Lyrics: That's Why I'm Here

I ain't had nothin' 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 Y.

They started talkin' 'bout steps you take,
Mistakes you make and the hearts you break
And the price you pay
I almost walked away.

You could hear a pindrop 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
Everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes you hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
I've been there, that's why I'm here.

Some boy stood up in the aisle
Said he'd been livin' a life of denial
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
I couldn't beleive 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
Everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes you hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
I've been there, that's why I'm here.

I know for us it may 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
Everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes you hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
I've been there, that's why I'm here.

Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here...
