No I ain't had nothing to drink I knew that's probably what you'd think If I stopped 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 When they started talkin' 'bout the 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 ole 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 Everything you love starts to disappear The devil takes your hand and says, no fear Have another shot, just one more beer I've been there, that's why I'm here This ole boy stood up in the aisle Said he'd been living 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 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 Everything you love starts to disappear The devil takes your hand and says, no fear Have another shot, just one more beer I've been there, that's why I'm here For us it may be too late But it would mean the world to me If you were there when I stand and 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 Everything you love starts to disappear The devil takes your hand and says, no fear Have another shot, just one more beer I've been there, that's why I'm here
