lyrics
Oh, we got married on a rainy afternoon
You standing next to me
I don't know if you even knew
Your hair was dripping with a dress soaked to the bone
But baby, your eyes, I ain't never seen eyes so cold
Who's the shining light of a girl, there was nothing there
Politely smile back at the shell of a woman I now share
You were wasted, you were wasted on our wedding day
And I still married you, why did I marry you anyway?
We said our vows and walked from the altar hand in hand
Your palm was warm as the cool rain continued to land
You swayed and gently waved as I walked inside the door
Your weight pulled us both down, I struggled to keep you off the floor
I tossed you in the back of the carriage pulled by two
Horses black and white, side by side, if they only knew
Words you whispered in my ear, you said, "I really do love you"
I said, "I love you, too," God knows it wasn't true
You were wasted, you were wasted on our wedding day
And I still married you, why did I marry you anyway?
Now you're in the car, but don't drive too far away
You can hate me all you want, but your kids, they need you to stay
What do you want me to tell 'em, that their ma's just at the store?
I ain't no liar no more, oh, I'll tell 'em the truth
I'll tell 'em their mama only cares about herself
And that bottle, oh that bottle
She'll leave you like she left me in the rain that Sunday eve
She'll leave you all alone, but I need you to be strong
She was wasted, she was wasted on our wedding day
And I still married her, oh, I was too weak to walk away
