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
