Marry Me

Well, my daddy didn't pull out, but he never apologized

Rock and roll means well but it can't help tellin' young boys lies

A baby on the way's a good enough reason to get you out alive

Get you out without havin' to swallow any pride

All my friends are restless, all they do is talk it down

Two or eight lanes, it don't matter, it's just another town

There's a fool on every corner, on every street, in every one

And I'd rather be your fool nowhere

Than go somewhere and be no one's

So marry me, sweet thing, won't you marry me?

Your mama thinks I beat anything she's ever seen

But this old town's alright with me, there's nowhere I'd rather be

Long as they stay mad at one another, well, they can't get mad at me

Every time I leave here, somethin' bad happens to me

Like a busted hand or findin' some man layin' where I sleep

She don't mean nothin' to me, that's just how it goes around here

It's a cartoon town, I played my part, and I ain't spoke her name in years

So marry me, sweet thing, won't you marry me?

Your mama thinks I beat anything she's ever seen

Well, this old town's alright with me, there's nowhere I'd rather be

Long as they stay mad at one another, well, they can't get mad at me

Let's go

I don't want anything I've done to be nobody's fault

Even if they got more money and mouth than they got balls

That's just how it went down, right or wrong, it's just that way

And just 'cause I don't run my mouth don't mean I got nothin' to say

Marry me, sweet thing, won't you marry me?

Your mama thinks I beat anything she's ever seen

Well, this old town's alright with me, there's nowhere I'd rather be

Long as they stay mad at one another, well, they can't get mad at me

So marry me, sweet thing, won't you marry me?

Marry me, sweet thing, won't you marry me?
