My mama got married to someone I barely knew
|
They had me and then they had my sister too
|
I was too young to understand why he left
|
But how it broke Mama's heart, I'll never forget
|
It was three years before she met somebody new
|
And though I didn't have much to compare him to
|
|
He was the best man, my mama ever loved
|
Not the kind that walks away, but the kind that don't give up
|
Devoted and true, someone to look up to
|
Even a boy of eight could understand
|
He was the best man
|
|
He called me his son and I called him my dad
|
He was the like no friend I had ever had
|
He taught me how to drive a nail and how to build a go-cart
|
And how to love a women with all of my heart
|
One night we watched him get down on one knee
|
And ask mama to be his wife, then he asked me
|
|
To be the best man, and I stood by his side
|
As he lifted the veil of that beautiful bride
|
He said I do, then she did too
|
And she walked back down the aisle holding hands
|
With the best man
|
|
[SOLO]
|
|
He said I do, and then she did too
|
And she walked back down the aisle holding hands
|
With the best man
