Thats Why Im Here — текст песни (Kenny Chesney)

(shaye smith/mark alan springer)



No I aint had nothing to drink

I knew thats probably what youd think

If I dropped by this time of night

Remember way back when

I promised you Id drop in

At one of those meetings down at the y



Well, 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 Im gonna say it again

Like I do every week

For those who dont know me



Its 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

Yah, Ive been there, thats why Im here



This ole boy stood up in the aisle

Said hed been living a life of denial

And he cried as he talked about wasted years

I couldnt believe what I heard

It was my life word for word

And all of the sudden it was clear



Its 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

Yah, Ive been there, thats why Im 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

Its 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

Yah, Ive been there, thats why Im here

Oh, Ive been there, thats why Im here
