That's Why I'm Here Lyrics - Kenny Chesney

1 No I ain't had nothin' to drink, I knew that's probably what you'd think

2 If I dropped by this time of night

3 Remember way back when, I promised you I'd drop in

4 At one of those meetings down at the Y

5 They started talkin' 'bout steps you take

6 Mistakes you make, the hearts you break

7 And the price you pay

8 I almost walked away

9 You could hear a pin drop, when this old man

10 Stood up and said I'm gonna say it again

11 Like I do every week

12 For those who don't know me

13 It's the simple things in life, like the kids at home and a loving wife

14 That you miss the most, when you lose control

15 And everything you love starts to disappear, the devil takes your hand and says no fear

16 Have another shot, just one more beer, yeah I've been there, that's why I'm here

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

18 And he cried, as he talked about wasted years

19 I couldn't believe what I heard, it was my life word for word

20 And all of the sudden, it was clear

21 It's the simple things in life, like the kids at home and a loving wife

22 That you miss the most, when you lose control

23 And everything you love starts to disappear, the devil takes your hand and says no fear

24 Have another shot, just one more beer, yeah I've been there, that's why I'm here

25 I know for us it may be too late

26 But it would mean the world to me

27 If you were there when I stand to say

28 It's the simple things in life, like the kids at home and a loving wife

29 That you miss the most, when you lose control

30 And everything you love starts to disappear, the devil takes your hand and says no fear

31 Have another shot, just one more beer, yeah I've been there, that's why I'm here

32 Oh I've been there, that's why I'm here
