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

The classified said, "Attention Broken Hearts
Meet at Murphy's Lounge at eight o'clock sharp"
I 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 twelve step recover"

One, Friday nights
Two, neon lights
Three, find a party crowd
Four, jukebox
Five, let it rock
Six, let your hair down
Seven, howl at the moon
Eight, shoot a little pool
Nine, get out on the dance floor with somebody
Ten, let the tables turn
Eleven, let the bridges burn
Twelve, let go of the memory
That's the mend a broken heart, make a new start
Twelve 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 twelve step recovery
