Lyrics

The nicest man I’ve never known
when I was drunk he drove me home
and made sure I was safe inside
But I was a fool and I was young
and the party wasn’t done
so I stumbled back to further imbibe
When I got there I had to explain
my dirty clothes from the rough terrain embarrassed by my disheveled state
Well I thought I was funny I thought I was cute
I never thought of what my words would do
when I told them all that I had escaped
No I didn’t No I didn’t No I didn’t
The nicest man I’ve never known
later called me on the phone
for he had heard what I had said that night
He begged me to go out with him
go out sledding with his friends
so I could set his reputation right
But I was sober and I was shy terrified to socialize I froze up as he pleaded with me more
Home alone and raised by ghosts
I didn’t know my “do’s and don’t’s”
I just stopped answering the phone
No I didn’t No I didn’t No I didn’t
ooh ooh
If I could live my life again
there’d be so many things I’d change
Oh Mr. Sherwood I confess
you’d be the first one on my list
The nicest man I’ve never known
when I was drunk he drove me home
and made sure I was safe inside
