I ain't had nothing to drink
I knew that's probably what you'd think
If I drop by this time of night
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in

To one of those meetings down for awhile
They started talking 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 in life starts to disappear the devil
Takes your hand and says no fear have another shot
Just one more beer
I've been there thats why I'm here

This old boy stood up in the aisle said hed been living life in denile
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
I couldn't believe what I'd heard
It was my life word for word
And all of a 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 in life starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear have another shot
Just one more beer
I've been there thats why Im here

I know for us it may be to 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 in life starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear have another shot
Just one more beer
I've been there thats why Im here

Oh I've been there
Thats why I'm here
