MARRIAGE
Another honky tonk stomper, but this one is a shuffle. That's right kids, a shuffle.

Could be the first country song ever inspired by an episode of Battlestar Galactica!
Lyrics
MARRIAGE
He walked in looking like death warmed over
So I did what bartenders do
I poured him a drink while he got himself settled
Then I told him what I know to be true
You can’t spend all your time hiding in here
Then go home and kiss your wife reeking of beer
You wonder why you end up sleeping alone
Come back the next day just to whimper and moan about
Marriage
Some people just don’t get it
Marriage
Some live to regret it
Marriage
It’s still recommended
But marriage is the reason bars were invented
Where else can you go to blow off some steam
And have a little innocent fun
Or throw back a shot or two of liquid courage
To go face the things that you’ve done
Hang out with some people you know understand
The perils of being a family man
A shoulder to cry on when you’ve screwed up bad
and you’re sure you’ve lost the best thing that you ever had and that’s
Marriage
Some people just don’t get it
Marriage
Some live to regret it
Marriage
It’s still recommended
But marriage is the reason bars were invented
Even our wives need a girls night out
Every once in a while
To do the same thing that we’re doing right now
And talk about their husbands and the various trials of
Marriage...
