Thats Why I'm Here

I ain't had nothing to drink
I knew that's probably what you think
When I drop by this town now
Remember way back when
Promised you i drop in
one of those meetings down at the Y

They started talking about steps you take
Mistakes you make and hearts you break
the price you pay
I almost walked away
you could hear a pin drop when this old man
stood up an 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
then you lose control
everything you love starts to diappear
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

This old boy stood up in the isle
said he'd been living a life of denial
and he cried
as he talked about waisted years
i couldn't believe what i heard
it was my life word for word
all of a sudden it was clear

CHORUS

i know for us it may be too late
but it would mean the world for me if you were then
i stand and say

CHORUS
