12 Step Recovery Lyrics by Paul Brandt

Calm Before the Storm

1996

[Verse 1]
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 8:00 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 recovery"
[Chorus]
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
Letting go of the memory
Well, that's the mend-a-broken-heart
Make-a-new-start twelve-step recovery
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
Letting go of the memory
Well, that's the mend-a-broken-heart
Make-a-new-start twelve-step recovery
[Chorus]
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
Letting go of the memory
Well, that's the mend-a-broken-heart
Make a new start twelve-step recovery
Well, that's the mend-a-broken-heart
Make-a-new-start twelve-step recovery
