_ [Ebm] _ [N] A few years back, a great song,
I had a friend of mine named Marcus come and we got together.
And a fellow named Bobby Boyd as well.
And we wrote this song that was a very personal tale.
And it was really intended to be a love letter.
It's intended to be a love letter to our wives.
And folks responded to the song in a very positive way.
And we kept playing it.
We recorded it on an album that no one heard.
[Bb] _ _ And then a few years later,
a band called [Am] Raffle Flats had a [Bbm] really big hit with it.
_ We're very grateful for that.
But the first guy to ever [Am] sing the song,
my friend Bobby [Bb] Calder, _
