Intro: verse 1 Nobody throws rice anymore Walking out those chapel doors But the limo’s dragging empty beer cans And your heart is full of small town plans verse 2 The house sure needs a little work Full of hand me down furniture Tattoos and honeymoon tans will fade Half the time, half the bills get paid If it’s a long kiss in the hallway That takes away your breath If it’s something you would die for And it scares you half to death If it fights sometimes in the kitchen But then it takes you up to bed Then it’s a good marriage verse 3 Nobody gets to sleep anymore Rocking babies and pacing floors And it’s a full blown miracle just to find the time To make some love on a Friday night If it’s a very fragile rope Placed through the eye of a needle like a thread If it’s out in the middle of a storm somewhere Dangling off a ledge If it yells sometimes in the kitchen Then takes back every word it said Then it’s a good marriage verse 4 Nobody said that love was an easy thing That ain’t the promise that comes with a wedding ring Until death do us part, through rich and poor And nobody throws rice anymore If it’s a long kiss in the hallway That takes away your breath If it’s something you would die for And it scares you half to death If it fights sometimes in the kitchen But then it takes you up to bed Then it’s a good marriage A damn good marriage
