The Has Been
by Steve & Annie Chapman

Album: Finish Well

Mama stood up at the party
She said, "Fifty years ago,
I married this mighty fine man
And I want everybody to know."
Then she smiled and raised her glass
And said as she looked at him,
"When it comes to great lovers...
He's a has been!"

"He has been faithful
He has been true
Whatever I wanted
He always came through
When I needed a lover
When I needed a friend
Through all these years,
He has been!"

Daddy got a standing ovation
And we all got tears in our eyes
Then I looked at the ring on my finger
That's when I realized
I need to do it right like he did
I need to turn out just like him
So I can hear those words Mama said about Daddy,
"He's a has been!"
