No I ain’t had nothing to drink I knew thats probably what you’d think If I dropped 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                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 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      And everything you love starts to disappear      The devil takes your hand and says no fear             Have another shot  just one more beer Yah  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 the 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      And everything you love starts to disappear      The devil takes your hand and says no fear            Have another shot  just one more beer Yah  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 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  I’ve been there                 that’s why I’m here Oh  I’ve been there                   thats why I’m here
