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
