My Best Man Lyrics

My dad would catch a flight every Monday

Soaring with the eagles, from sea to shining sea

Delivered pizza on Saturday's

Saved the tip money for ski trips and Disney

He never missed one of my little league games

When I was 5 he introduced me to Springsteen

The only sound from his radio in '91 was the Atlanta Braves

He's been loving my mom since they were fifteen

Through the ups and downs he gives his everything

He's my, my best man

Don't need no wedding bells ringing to call him that

Yeah he's my, my best man

Never come close to the man he is

But each day's another chance to do the best I can

When he was 55 life knocked him down

And the hard days came over him like a wave

Mom got sick, he got laid off, no job to be found

And the medical bills wiped out all he'd saved

I'm sure there were times he felt lower than low

Never heard him complain or saw him hang his head

He said "life can be hard, but it sure ain't ever dull"

Kept believing there were good days up ahead

Sure enough there were good days up ahead

He's my, my best man

Don't need no wedding bells ringing to call him that

Yeah he's my, my best man

Never come close to the man he is

But each day's another chance to do the best I can

Now I'm 39 and life is racing by

And the moments we share hold more weight

He taught me it's okay to cry and to never blink an eye

So I'll take in every moment profound and mundane

He's my, my best man

Don't need no wedding bells ringing to call him that

Yeah he's my, my best man

Never come close to the man he is

But each day's another chance to do the best I can

Though he'll be gone one day my best man will never go away
