Kenny Chesney Lyrics

Album: I WILL STAND

That's Why I'm Here Lyrics

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
