well i ain't had nothing to drink
i knew that's probably what you think
i drive by this time tonight
remember way back when i promised you i'd drop in
and one of those meetings down at the wire
they started talking about steps you take
mistakes you make the heart you break
and the price you pay
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 you're 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
yeah i've been there
that's why i'm here
so boy stood up in the eye
said he'd been living a life of denial
and he cried as he talked about wasting years
couldn't believe what i heard
it was my life word from word
and all of a sudden it was clear
it's the simple things in life like the kids your 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
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 your 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
yeah i've been there
that's why i'm here
oh i've been there
that's why i'm here
