Kenny Chesney - It's the Simple Things Lyrics

Well, I ain't had nothing to drink
I knew that's probably what you think
I dropped by this time of night
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in
To one of those meetings down at the Y?

They start talking about steps you take,
Mistakes you made and 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 to say, "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
Yea, I've been there that's why I'm here.

This old boy stood up in the aisle
Said he'd been living the 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
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
Yea, I've been there that's why I'm here.

I know for us it might be too late
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
Everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yea, I've been there that's why I'm here.

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