I Would Not Be Here Today

I Would Not Be Here Today

1. You stood by as I tried to fly, dreams like balloons fly out of sight

You would say, don’t give up the fight, someday you’ll get it right

Years go by like a fast train, yet, nothing ever seemed to change

I made some friends along the way and I made some friends to ease my pain

2. Girl, you would see the worst in me, as I’d drink myself to sleep

Would you stay or would you leave, you deserved better than me

One more night one more time when the morning comes you're by my side

You gave me the only reason I’ll try to beat the devil home one last time

Chorus:

I would not be here today, I would be in my grave,

or drunken old man on a lost highway

Yes, I am one of the lucky few, to have a woman like you

If you had not prayed, had you not stayed

I would not be here today
