Best Man

Verse 1

Acoustic guitar and voice

Tied your first tie in a church hallwayDad was gone and Mama worked lateI taught you how to throw a curveHow to take a punch and swingAnd how to say you're wrong

Pre-Chorus

Now you're standing at the altarAnd I'm standing right behind you

Chorus

Tonight I'm the best manHand you the ring, step backYou don't need me anymoreTonight I'm the best man

Verse 2

She's got your crooked smile figured outShe laughs at every joke of yoursBrother, she's the one you prayed forI can finally go home

Pre-Chorus

Now you're standing at the altarAnd I'm standing right behind you

Chorus

Fiddle and pedal steel enter

Tonight I'm the best manHand you the ring, step backYou don't need me anymoreTonight I'm the best man

Bridge

Quiet, just piano

Dad should've been the one up hereI hope I did alright

Final Chorus

Big singalong, full band

Tonight I'm the best manHand you the ring, step backYou don't need me anymoreTonight I'm the best manTonight I'm the best manHand you the ring, step backYou don't need me anymoreTonight you're the best man
