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

YAnd 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 weekFor 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 fearHave another shot, just one more beer"

Yeah, I've been there, that's why

I'm hereThis 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 heardIt 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 fearHave another shot, just one more beer"

Yeah, I've been there, that's why

I'm hereI 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 fearHave another shot, just one more beer"

Yeah, I've been there, that's why

I'm hereOh,

I've been there, that's why

I'm here
