No I ain't had nothing to drink
|
I knew thats 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
|
|
Well, they started talkin bout 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
|
|
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
|
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
|
|
This ole 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
|
Yah, 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
|
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
|
Have another shot, just one more beer
|
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
|
Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
