"Giving Her Away" lyrics

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
Ooh, yeah, she's your little girl
And ooh, 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
