Giving Her Away

On any other weekend At least one of us would be pulled off a road Tackle box, cork dropped in a creek bend Hand reelin' on a Zebco But today, there's a line out the front door A bunch of folks that we know ain't ever seen A fresh shine on our Fords And us not in a pair of jeans Oh, yeah, she's your little girl And oh, she's my whole world Only she coulda got us both in suits Only she coulda got us out our boots Fightin' back every tear that we both knew We were gonna cry today Neither one of us knows what to do Standin' up in front of a crowded room On a springtime Saturday afternoon With both our lives about to change Man, you brought your baby I brought a ring, and I'm giving her my name And you're giving her away Yeah, I know it's gotta be tough And you're happy, but you're hurting behind that smile You'll always be her first love And mine's walking down the aisle That song's about to play We're gonna say, "I do" And for the rest of my days I'll do my best to fill your shoes Only she coulda got us both in suits Only she coulda got us out our boots Fightin' back every tear that we both knew We were gonna cry today Neither one of us knows what to do Standin' up in front of a crowded room On a springtime Saturday afternoon With both our lives about to change Man, you brought your baby I brought a ring, and I'm giving her my name And you're giving her away I'm saying, "I love you" And you're saying, "Goodbye" You're letting her hand go Putting it in mine Only she coulda got us both in suits Only she coulda got us out our boots Fightin' back every tear that we both knew We were gonna cry today Neither one of us knows what to do Standin' up in front of a crowded room On a springtime Saturday afternoon With both our lives about to change Man, you brought your baby I brought a ring, and I'm giving her my name And you're giving her away
