the last mile Lyrics

It was another day like any other day

He woke up and kissed his wife goodbye

Just before he left, turned and said

See you later on tonight

Never needed more than what he had

He wasn't built to be that way

As the lights were closing in he knew

Everything would change

Never thought we'd ever say goodbye

Never knew that it would be the last mile

Never thought that this would be the plan

'Cause you were such a young man oh no, no, no

Never thought it would end up like this

It's hard to let you go just know you'll be missed

You were a good man and I don't understand why

It had to be the last time

It was a Friday just another day

When I heard about you and cried

I was sure it was a mistake, thought you were okay

Then I checked the morning headline

Sure enough it was really you

I didn't know what else to say

And I can't find the right words to tell you

Just how much you're missed

Never thought we'd ever say goodbye

Never knew that it would be the last mile

Never thought that this would be the plan

'Cause you were such a young man oh no, no, no

Never thought it would end up like this

It's hard to let you go just know you'll be missed

You were a good man and I don't understand why

It had to be the last time

I remember when we used to sing in class, we had so much fun

I remember when you used to tell me an honest man's work is never done

Still you're in our memories and they're so tightly held together

Still can't believe you're gone and I never

Never thought we'd ever say goodbye

Never knew that it would be the last mile

Never thought that it would be the plan

You were such a young man

Never thought it would end up like this

It's hard to let you go just know that you'll be missed

You were a good man and I don't understand why

It had to be the last time
