Kenny Chesney - That's Why I'm Here lyrics

(shaye smith/mark alan springer) 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
