That's Why I'm Here

Lyrics

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
