Don't Let the Ink Dry

(Verse 1)

Driving down that lonely road, with a heavy heart and a heavy load,

My baby's getting married today, to a man she don't love in any way.

He's got the money, he's got the fame, but he ain't got her heart, it's such a shame.

But I won't let this love just pass me by, gotta reach that wedding 'fore the ink is dry.

(Chorus)

Don't let the ink dry, on that paper tonight!

I'm racing 'gainst time, to make things right.

Her love's worth more than a country club affair,

I'll fight for her love, I swear and I swear!

(Verse 2)

The groom's all smiles, with pockets full of gold, but his heart's as empty as the stories he's told.

My baby's eyes betray the truth, she's in love with me, that's the proof.

She's walking down that aisle so brave, but I know deep inside, she's digging her own grave.

I'll crash that wedding like a hurricane, won't let her live a life of pain.

Chorus)

Don't let the ink dry, on that paper tonight,

I'm racing 'gainst time, to make things right.

Her love's worth more than a country club affair,

I'll fight for her love, I swear and I swear.

(Bridge)

I ain't got no riches, just this beat-up old car,

But I'll give her my heart, be her shining star.
