lyrics

When her aunts at the wedding
ask how this union came about
You’ll say you were both tending bar
At some dive downtown
When they ask what took you so long to get together
after you met
I guess you’ll forget to mention
there was an obstacle you hadn’t tied up yet

Baby, there was a band of gold you tossed aside to grab the brass ring
I hope it’s tight on your hand
I hope it turns your finger green

When your baby asks mom and daddy
what their first kiss was like
I guess you’ll forget to mention
that you showered after and laid down next to your wife
And told her that work just wore you out
with that fucked-up smirk on your face
He said he had to give his coworker A RIDE?!
“Sorry, baby, for getting home so late”

Baby, there was a band of gold you tossed aside to grab the brass ring
I hope it’s tight on your hand
I hope it turns your finger

Green with jealousy
Used to be me
Somehow
BUT BABY NOW I’M FREE!
of chasing you through twisted sheets
Glistening alibis
Like the beers you pour down their throats
And the lies you poured down mine
Recalled my standards just in time

You think you two are June and Johnny Cash
It doesn’t look like fated love, just looks like a sinner’s match
And everyone
In
This goddamned
Town
Knows you got kicked
Out
Right on your ass

Baby, there was a band of gold you tossed aside to grab the brass ring
I hope it’s tight on your hand
I hope it turns your finger -

Baby there was a band of gold that you tossed aside
To grab the brass ring
Yes, I’m pointing fingers
But at least my hands are clean
