aa gave me a new act

a lazy afternoon...................nothing much going on
well, let's have some beer
so, i'll have an excuse to act like a moron

went to work, got my paycheck
quiet a few bills to pay
a better idea is to go to a bar
i can pay the bills another day

wife and kids waiting home for me
but frank would wobble in at ten
ooopppsss!!!!! no dinner left tonight
cause i stopped off for a few drinks
...................with a friend

and so life went on without me
i was just too busy drinking and acting stupidly
everytime i was about to win the race
i would take a drink
and right before the finish line
....................................promptly fall on my face


always drank and did what i wanted to do
never said to myself
"hey, frank, drinking makes you act like a fool

love, acceptance, tolerance,patience, humility
so much AA has given to me
so much the program has also taken out of my life

Aa has truly put me on a new track
i'm no longeram playing the fool as part of my act

i'm no longer getting arrested, beat up in fights
or wind up in the emergency room
i no longer have to worry about getting a knife in my back
i no longer think of ending it by jumping in front of the train
i no longer worry about the weather
i love to walk to a meeting in the rain

so here i am to let you all know
if you weren't here, i would have no place to go
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE
THANK GOD FOR AA
I GUESS THAT'S ALL I HAVE TO SAY
