Intro
Verse 1
I ain't had nothin 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 meeting 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 pen 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
Its 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 say say no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here
Verse 2
This ole boy stood up in the aisle
Said he'd been livin a life of denial
And he cried as he talked about the 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
Its 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 say say no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here
Bridge
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
Its 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 say say no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yeah, I've been there, thats why I'm here
Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
