Death of a single man - Brad Paisley (Lyrics) video free download

LYRICS:

Remember when we got the news

Confirming our worst fears

I said he wouldn't make it six months

And others gave him a year

And sure enough last Saturday

We paid our last respects

He left us here still in this life

And he's gone on to the next

I'd never seen him wear a tie

But he looked so natural, almost lifelike

The preacher spoke, his mother cried

When he said "Son, you may now kiss the bride"

Everyone cheered, I thought how odd

I didn't understand

Why with champagne and cake we celebrate

The death of a single man

So many flowers, he was so loved

Prior to the bride

As a matter of fact

The maid of honor should be disqualified

To all his friends, it's a wake-up call

If it happened to him

It can happen to us all

Nothing says it's over man

Like a bad 80's cover band

How can we dance to My Sharona

At the death of a single man

He was so young

So full of dreams

Before the day he fell

Now he's gone on to a better place

Or possibly to hell

Now here we are, seems so unfair

It's poker night and there's one empty chair

So many things we're gonna miss

His happy smile and that great laugh of his

I think of him in the afterwife, life

I guess all good things must end

So with Jack and Coke, we'll make a toast

To the death of a single man
