(117) David Nail is sharing one of the more poignant moments from his personal life with his newest release "Best of Me," available everywhere now.
Written about his longtime wife, Catherine, the new single finds Nail reminiscing about asking his father-in-law for his future wife's hand in marriage and reflecting on the promise he made way back then to give her the best of him throughout the life of their relationship. Nail's vulnerability shines throughout "Best of Me," particularly in acknowledging that while he didn't have much money or a ring, he knew he would love Catherine for the rest of time.
I don't have much money
And I don't have a ring
But what I've got's a whole lot better
Than all those fancy things
I swear to you I'll love her
Until my dying day
I'll give her the best of me
If you'll give her away
"People always say the best songs are ones that come from a real place or a real experience. These lyrics, almost word for word, rewind time back to the afternoon I sat in Catherine's kitchen and told her folks of my intentions -- with their blessing of course," said Nail.
