"What I'm Here For" lyrics

A two for one on a Friday night
A sweet thing wearing a dress too tight
The smell of smoke burning my eyes
Naw that ain't what I'm here for

A line dance to copperhead road
One more shot at the end of a show
Sure looks fun, man I know
But that ain't what I'm here for

I'm here to lend a helping hand
Give someone another chance
And walk em off a ledge if they need it
To close a tab on my dime
Drive em home, might save a life
I've done it all, and thank god I lived to tell it
'Cause I've been that guy a time or two before
But that ain't what I'm here for

I can walk you through a broken heart
Help you heal them unseen scars
Catch you if you fall apart
Yeah man that's what I'm here for

If there's something weighing on your mind
You can lay it on me I got the time
Let it all out line by line
'Cause that's just what I'm here for

I'm here to lend a helping hand
Give someone another chance
And walk em off a ledge if they need it
To close a tab on my dime
Drive em home, might save a life
I've done it all, and thank god I lived to tell it
'Cause I've been that guy a time or two before
But that ain't what I'm here for

When I lost my friend of twenty years
I was sitting in that chair right there
Drowning in a pool of tears
When a man pulled up beside me, and said

I'm here to lend a helping hand
Give someone another chance
And walk em off a ledge if they need it
To close a tab on my dime
Drive em home, might save a life
I've done it all, and thank god I lived to tell it
'Cause I've been that guy a time or two before

And when you get the chance some day son pay it forward
So that's what I'm here for
Yeah that's what I'm here for
