The story behind this song
Ten years ago a stranger turned up to Sunday dinner, laughed too hard at the worst of the family jokes, danced with Grandma twice because she asked twice, and somehow never left. By now he knows everybody's coffee order, which cousin starts the drama, and which one needs a ride home. He shows up with the truck whenever someone moves.
The wedding was a great party, but ten years is what earned the toast: she's still laughing, and the family kept his chair. For the one raising a glass to the in-law who turned out to be the real thing.
Lyrics
Raise 'em up, the whole loud clan
Ten years since my sister found her man
Ten years since my sister found her man
You showed up to Sunday dinner
Laughed at Dad's worst joke on cue
We all swapped looks across the gravy
Like — this one might just do
Laughed at Dad's worst joke on cue
We all swapped looks across the gravy
Like — this one might just do
A decade later, here we are
Still passing you the plate
Still passing you the plate
Here's to the man she chose
The one who stayed, the one who knows
Her coffee order and her moods
Who brings the truck when somebody moves
Ten years in, brother — that's what you are now
The man she chose, and we'd choose you too
The one who stayed, the one who knows
Her coffee order and her moods
Who brings the truck when somebody moves
Ten years in, brother — that's what you are now
The man she chose, and we'd choose you too
You danced with Grandma at the wedding
Twice, because she asked you twice
You learned which cousin starts the drama
And which one needs a ride
Twice, because she asked you twice
You learned which cousin starts the drama
And which one needs a ride
Marrying her was the easy part
You went and married all of us
You went and married all of us
Here's to the man she chose
The one who stayed, the one who knows
Her coffee order and her moods
Who brings the truck when somebody moves
Ten years in, brother — that's what you are now
The man she chose, and we'd choose you too
The one who stayed, the one who knows
Her coffee order and her moods
Who brings the truck when somebody moves
Ten years in, brother — that's what you are now
The man she chose, and we'd choose you too
We still tell the wedding stories
The cake, the rain, your shaky vows
But the best part wasn't that day —
It's that she's still laughing now
The cake, the rain, your shaky vows
But the best part wasn't that day —
It's that she's still laughing now
Here's to the man she chose
The one who stayed, the one who knows
Her coffee order and her moods
Who brings the truck when somebody moves
Ten years in, brother — that's what you are now
The man she chose, and we'd choose you too
The one who stayed, the one who knows
Her coffee order and her moods
Who brings the truck when somebody moves
Ten years in, brother — that's what you are now
The man she chose, and we'd choose you too
So raise 'em high, the whole loud clan
Ten more years — now dance, my man
Ten more years — now dance, my man
