Well I ain't had nothin' to drink I knew that's probably what you'd think If I'd 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"
They started talkin' about 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 lovin' 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 old boy stood up in the isle Said he'd been livin' a life of denial Then 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 lovin' 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 lovin' 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
