Matrimony Songtext

von Whiskeytown

Well I'm saving this dress
For my wedding day,
Because my mama
Wouldn't have it any other way.
She says when she married
Her waist was 23
I guess I'll never wear it anyway
I don't believe I care to marry,
Though I cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me
That Matrimony is misery,
Simply a faster way to die.
Well I'm saving all my money
For my wedding day
Because my mama
Wouldn't have it any other
She says when she married,
She didn't have a dime
But I think I'll spend that money
Some other way
I'm saving my best thing
For my wedding day
Because my papa
Wouldn't have it any other way
He says if I lose it early
I'll have thrown my life away
But I swear I'll use my cherry my own way.
