Nobody throws rice anymore
Walkin' out those chapel doors
But the limo's draggin' empty beer cans
And your heart is full of small town plans
THe house sure needs a little work
It's full of hand-me-down furniture
The tattoos and honeymoon tans will fade
Half the time, half the bills get paid
If it's a long kiss in the hallway that takes away your breath
If it's something you would die for and it scares you half to d**h
Big fight sometimes in the kitchen, but then it takes you up to bed
Then it's a good marriage
Nobody gets to sleep anymore
Rockin' babies and pacin' floors
And it's a full blown miracle just to find the time
To make some love on a Friday night
If it's a very fragile rope laced through the eye of a needle like a thread
If it's out in the middle of a storm somewhere, dangling off a ledge
If it yells sometimes in the kitchen but then takes back every word it said
Then it's a good marriage
Nobody said that love was an easy thing
That ain't the promise that comes with the wedding ring
'Til d**h do us part, through rich and poor
And nobody throws rice anymore
If it's a long kiss in the hallway that takes away your breath
If it's something you would die for and it scares you half to d**h
Big fight sometimes in the kitchen, but then it takes you up to bed
Then it's a good marriage
A damn good marriage
