Can anyone tell me the name and / or artist of country song 10 years ago about ALCOHOL RECOVERY? The song goes from the dysfunction of a relationship that ended while practicing alcoholic him into the recovery, and get? months of recovery and the song ends with him at a meeting and wishing she was there to hear his story and see it sober.
Kenny Chesney's why I'm here. " The song, from his 1998 album "I Will Stand", reached # 2 on the country charts in the United States.
Lyrics:
No I have not had anything to drink
I knew thats probably what you think
If I dropped in this time of night
Remember way back when
I have promised to drop
At a meeting at the Y
Well, they started talkin bout steps you
The 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 that I am about to say again
As I do every week
For those who do not know me
These are the simple things in life
Because children at home and a loving wife
What you miss most when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes his hand and said, without fear
Another chance, one more beer
Yah, I was there, so I am here
The boy standing in the aisle OLE
Said he had lived a life of denial
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
I could not believe what I heard
Was my life word for word
And suddenly, it was clear
These are the simple things in life
As children at home and a loving wife
What you miss most when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes his hand and said, without fear
Another chance, one more beer
Yah, I was there, so I'm here
I know that for us, it may be too late
But that would mean the world to me
If you were there when I want to say
These are the simple things in life
Because children at home and a loving wife
What you miss most when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes his hand and said, without fear
Another chance, one more beer
Yah, I was there, so I'm here
Oh, I've been there, so I'm here
Kenny Chesney "Thats why I'm here"
I do not know what particular song you mentioned, but there are many songs about alcoholism and recovery on the following link.
This is why I am here by Kenny Chesney
Can not remember the name of it, but Kenny Chesney is the artist. I came into recovery and I told each time that I heard.
Oh it would be "That's why I'm here" by my man Kenny Chesney
That by Collin Raye and it's called Little Rock
Kenny Chesney
