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 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 12 step recovery"

1 Friday nights
2 Neon lights
3 Find a party crowd
4 Jukebox
5 Let it rock
6 Let your hair down
7 Howl at the moon
8 Shoot a little pool
9 Get out on the dance floor with somebody new
10 Let the tables turn
11 Let the bridges burn
12 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
