[ti:Death of a Single Man]
[ar:Brad Paisley]
[al:Wheelhouse (Deluxe Version)]
[00:06.29]Remember when we got the news
[00:11.84]Confirming our worst fears
[00:15.27]
[00:17.15]I said he wouldn't make it six months
[00:21.82]
[00:22.63]And others gave him a year
[00:25.69]
[00:28.19]And sure enough last Saturday
[00:32.50]
[00:33.75]We paid our last respects
[00:36.67]
[00:39.05]He left us here still in this life
[00:43.66]
[00:44.41]And he's gone on to the next
[00:47.43]
[00:49.87]I'd never seen him wear a tie
[00:54.61]
[00:55.29]But he looked so natural, almost lifelike
[00:59.85]
[01:00.91]The preacher spoke, his mother cried
[01:05.59]
[01:06.21]When he said "Son, you may now kiss the bride"
[01:10.77]
[01:11.71]Everyone cheered, I thought how odd
[01:16.57]
[01:17.25]I didn't understand
[01:20.44]
[01:21.63]Why with champagne and cake we celebrate
[01:27.49]The death of a single man
[01:30.86]
[01:33.74]So many flowers, he was so loved
[01:38.29]
[01:39.61]Prior to the bride
[01:42.23]
[01:44.42]As a matter of fact
[01:46.60]The maid of honor should be disqualified
[01:52.96]
[01:55.66]To all his friends, it's a wake-up call
[02:00.22]
[02:00.84]If it happened to him
[02:02.41]It can happen to us all
[02:05.47]
[02:06.34]Nothing says it's over man
[02:10.95]
[02:11.70]Like a bad 80's cover band
[02:16.13]
[02:18.78]How can we dance to My Sharona
[02:23.47]At the death of a single man
[02:27.52]
[03:11.64]He was so young
[03:13.51]
[03:14.50]So full of dreams
[03:16.25]
[03:17.20]Before the day he fell
[03:20.12]
[03:22.68]Now he's gone on to a better place
[03:26.99]
[03:28.30]Or possibly to hell
[03:31.16]
[03:33.54]Now here we are, seems so unfair
[03:38.90]It's poker night and there's one empty chair
[03:43.47]
[03:44.27]So many things we're gonna miss
[03:48.77]
[03:50.08]His happy smile and that great laugh of his
[03:54.63]
[03:55.50]I think of him in the afterwife, life
[04:01.01]I guess all good things must end
[04:04.25]
[04:05.56]So with Jack and Coke,
[04:08.10]
[04:08.73]we'll make a toast
[04:11.03]
[04:11.59]To the death of a single man
