The One

(album: Drinkin' Songs: The Collection - 2020)

Throwing rice up in the air
"Just married" on that old Bel Air
The one that we drove everywhere
These are happy tears, I swear
Lost in a champagne recollection
Standing around at the reception
Men are like taxis, I'll get the next one
These are happy tears, I swear

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, I swear

I was right before right timing
The pearl before the diamond
I was the road trip to the beach
She's the honeymoon to the Cayman Islands
I made a mess and she made sense
She got your name and a picket fence
I know it's a party, but it ain't fun
Being the one before the one

Bet you're surprised I stayed this long
Never thought you'd play that song
No, I couldn't sing along, boy
'Cause whiskey ain't that strong
Swear that you looked at me when it came on
I guess I was wrong

I was right before right timing
The pearl before the diamond
I was the road trip to the beach
She's the honeymoon to the Cayman Islands
I made a mess and she made sense
She got your name and a picket fence
I know it's a party, but it ain't fun
Being the one before the one

I sat in the back and I faked a smile
Ooh-ooh
We were both crying as she floated down the aisle

I was right before right timing
Right before the diamond
I was the road trip to the beach
She's the honeymoon to the Cayman Islands
Oh, I made a mess and she made sense
She got your name and a picket fence
I know it's a party, but it ain't fun
Being the one before the one

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Throwing rice up the air
"Just married" on that old Bel Air
These are happy tears, I swear
