Well, my daddy didn’t pull out, but he never apologized   Rock and Roll means well, but it can’t help tellin’ young boys lies   A baby on the way’s a good enough reason to get you out alive   Get you out without having to swallow any pride      All my friends are restless, all they do is talk it down,   Two or eight lanes, it don’t matter, it’s just another town   There’s a fool on every corner, on every street, in every one   And I’d rather be your fool nowhere than go somewhere and be no one's      So Marry Me, sweet thing won’t you marry me   Your Mama thinks I beat anything she’s ever seen   This old town’s all right with me, there’s nowhere I’d rather be   Long as they stay mad at one another, they can’t get mad at me      Every time I leave here something bad happens to me   Like a busted hand or finding some man laying where I sleep   She don’t mean nothing to me, that’s just how it goes round here   It’s a cartoon town, I play my part, and I ain’t spoke her name in years      So Marry Me, sweet thing won’t you marry me   Your Mama thinks I beat anything she’s ever seen   This old town’s all right with me, there’s nowhere I’d rather be   Long as they stay mad at one another, they can’t get mad at me      I don’t want anything I done to be nobody’s fault   Even if they got more money and mouth than they got balls   That’s just how it went down, right or wrong, it’s just that way   Just cause I don’t run my mouth don’t mean I got nothing to say      So Marry Me, sweet thing won’t you marry me   Your Mama thinks I beat anything she’s ever seen   This old town’s all right with me, there’s nowhere I’d rather be   Long as they stay mad at one another, they can’t get mad at me
