Brad Paisley knows what it takes to make a marriage last, and it might not be what you think.
In an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Monday the country crooner performed the song his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, asked him to write for their wedding more than 20 years ago.
“I had already had a top-five song that made her fall in love with me,” Paisley recalled of his 2003 hit "Little Moments." "And somehow, that wasn't enough," he joked.
"No, she wanted something on the wedding day,” the Grammy winner said as he pulled out a guitar to play the "special" song he surprised his beloved with on that fateful day.
"She's not into flowers, or getting big expensive gifts," he sang. "She says she don't want jewelry/And she doesn't need another dress. If I want to show her how much I adore her/The best way that I've found is to make sure when I'm finished/I put that toilet seat down."
Paisley continued: "Cause in the middle of the night, it's cold and it's dark/And when I hear my name in vain, I know I haven't done my part/She just wants me to support her. And the best way that I've found/Is with a gentle hand and a loving touch/I put that toilet seat down."
When he was finished Fallon jumped from his seat as the crowd cheered. "That's exactly right!" Fallon exclaimed. "Come on now!"
Kimberly confirmed the story on Instagram, writing that it “makes me giggle to this day.”
Brad and Kimberly married in March 2003 and have two sons together: William Huckleberry, born in 2007, and Jasper Warren, born in 2009.
In a 2021 interview with People, Kimberly said "focusing on the laughter and keeping a sense of play" is key to her and Brad's long standing marriage.
"A lot of married couples would rather do anything but spend the evening together," added Brad. "That's not the case in our house."
