Karaoke Freight Train - Auditorium

Ethan, when’d you get so beautiful?

Your brother was a friend of mine

I knew him back before he ever joined the army

You have his blue eyes

This was back in 1998

The only thing we knew was time

We’d hit up every bar from here to Chula Vista

He only drank wine

He used to sing karaoke like a freight train

You should’ve seen him hit those highs

One time he got real drunk and sang «Surrender»

Cross my heart, he made the whole bar cry

And every girl wished that he would want to dance

But he never seemed to know he had the chance

That was part of what made him such a hero

See, he never knew he was

Do you believe that I’d ever lie to you?

His voice was a kind of smile, he could shake it and move rooms

I know that the last day of his life is known as his finest

But the truth is the greatest thing he did

Were all the times he stopped and shook his head, and said:

«I'm gonna marry that girl»

Let’s sing «Surrender»

I’ll take the low parts

If you promise me that you will take the highs
