"That's Why I'm Here" lyrics - KENNY CHESNEY

No, I ain't had nothin' to drink, I knew that's 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 meetings down at the Y

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 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 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 ol' boy stood up in the aisle, said he'd been livin' a life of denial
And 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 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 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 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
