Lyrics of Kalyn Beasley – 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
