That's Why I'm Here

No I ain't had nothin' to drink
I knew that's probably what you'd think
If I 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"

When they started talkin' about the 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 lovin' wife
That you'll 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 old boy stood up in the aisle
Said he's 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 a sudden it was clear

CHORUS

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

Ooh I've been there, that's why I'm here
