Holy Matrimony Blues

I don't wanna take my girl to the kitchen
There's all kinds of things I know I would be missing, now
I don't want to take the time that she gave me
Maybe I would if I felt the same way too
But I don't so, I think you know where I belong
In the gutter, babe

I almost bought the line that you gave me
"Stay in my arms, let me be your baby, please"
But my sweet love it don't last long
Good for a night or another sad love song
But I don't know just where you went wrong
I can't tell you

I spend my love like I spend my time
One is finite, one is just a waste of time
I've had lovers and I've had friends
Broken hearts always find a way to mend
But the scars may soak up all the love you had
I sure hope not

I get lonesome and I get blue
One of these days I'll prolly crawl back to you
You'll say "Too late Charlie, you're way too slow"
Love it comes but just as fast it slowly goes
But you can't take love you do not give

So maybe I should settle down
Appalachian living in a cabin on the edge of town
Where the sun shines brighter, the birds sings sweet
Any wife of mine is gonna feel like a country queen
It's a change but, I know a good change when it come
