A fifty years theyve been married
And they cant wait for their fifty first to roll around
Yeah, roll around
A thirty years theyve been married
And now theyre old and happy and they settle down
Settle down yeah
Twenty years theyve been married
And they did everything that could be done
You know their havin fun

And then you come along and talk about

So you say you wanna be married
Im gonna change your mind
Oh got to change
That was the good side baby
Here comes the bad side

Ten years theyve been married
And a thousand kids run around hungry
Cause ther mothers a louse
Daddys down at the wihiskey house
That aint all

For thirty years theyve been married
They dont get along so good
Theyre tired of each other, you know how that goes
She got another lover
Huh same old thing

So now youre seventeen
Running around hanging out, and a havin your fun
Life for you has just begun, baby

And then you come saying
So you, you say you wanna get married
Oh baby trying to put me on a chain
Aint that some shame
You must be losing your, sweet little mind
I aint ready yet, baby, I aint ready
Im gonna change your mind

Oooh look out baby
Oh
I aint ready
I aint ready
I aint ready

Let me live
Let me live
Let me live a little longer

Etc.
