Paul Brandt › Lyrics › 12 Step Recovery

You walked out and my world caved in
I couldn't get back on my feet again
I tried self-help books, even meditation
Searched the want-ads out of desperation

Well the classified said, "Attention broken hearts
Meet at Murphy's Lounge at 8 o'clock sharp"
Got there early and the man at the door
Said, "We've got the cure you've been searching for"

He handed me a list and said, "Here's what you need
The rules of the 12 step recovery"

Friday nights, neon lights find a party crowd
Jukebox let it rock let your hair down
Howl at the moon, shoot a little pool
Get out on the dance floor with somebody new

Let the tables turn, let the bridges burn
Let go of the memory
That's the mend a broken heart, make a new start
12 step recovery

Well I gotta admit I had my doubts at first
But I figured, what the heck, let's see if it works
So, I followed each step down to the letter
Almost right away I started feeling better

Instead of missing you, now you'll find me
Practicing the 12 step recovery

Friday nights, neon lights find a party crowd
Jukebox let it rock let your hair down
Howl at the moon, shoot a little pool
Get out on the dance floor with somebody new

Let the tables turn, let the bridges burn
Let go of the memory
Yeah that's the mend a broken heart, make a new start
12 step recovery

Friday nights, neon lights find a party crowd
Jukebox let it rock let your hair down
Howl at the moon, shoot a little pool
Get out on the dance floor with somebody new

You've gotta let the tables turn, let the bridges burn
Let go of the memory
Yeah that's the mend a broken heart, make a new start
12 step recovery

Yeah that's the mend a broken heart, make a new start
12 step recovery
