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

Well I ain't had nothin' to drink
I knew that's probably what you'd think
If I'd drop 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' about 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 lovin' 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 old boy stood up in the isle
Said he'd been livin' a life of denial
Then 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 lovin' 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 lovin' 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

OOH, I've been there

That's why I'm here
