Had To Go There

What you're seeing tonight, is a man who's finally alright

Dealing with this thing called life

I didn't have to make it so hard, didn't have to take it so far

But I'm learning to take one mistake at a time

Cause I'm a sinner if there ever was one

I tripped and fell over my tongue

My own words cut my throat like a mutineer

Been in bad shape, been in dire straits

I've been blown by the winds of ill fate

Propelled myself not by love but fear

And I had to go there to get here

You wouldn't recognize that guy

He was always so damn high

On his own bull it was unreal

But it all evens out, humbled will be the proud

Pay attention to who you're with when good's how you feel

Cause I'm a sinner if there ever was one

I tripped and fell over my tongue

My own words cut my throat like a mutineer

Been in bad shape, been in dire straits

I've been blown by the winds of ill fate

Propelled myself not by love but fear

And I had to go there to get here

It'd be nice if life had straight lines

All wrapped up and bowtied

Or maybe it does and all we do is the worst that we can

Cause I'm a sinner if there ever was one

I tripped and fell over my tongue

My own words cut my throat like a mutineer

Been in bad shape, been in dire straits

I've been blown by the winds of ill fate

Propelled myself not by love but fear

And I had to go there

Yeah I had to go there

I had to go there to get here

Yeah to get here

Oh to get here
