Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers Honky Tonk Union

They got married in a honky tonk bar
Said their vows on a 6-string steel guitar
He'd been in love since the moment he saw her
All them years ago at the livestock show
He's just a rodeo clown
He ain't much, just the biggest damn fool in town
Now his best man couldn't come around
'Cause he died a month ago down in Mexico

Well, God bless the fools
For breaking all the rules
And fighting over their bar stools
And getting married in a honky tonk bar

They honeymooned in a pick-up truck
Threw some hay in the bed so that they might stay up all night
And laugh with the stars in the moonlight
And all them UFOs with their crazy light shows
He left his three-legged dog at home
And let the cows loose so they could roam
We don't know if they'll ever come home
But that's okay, you see, we think they ought to go free by now

God bless the fools
For screwing up all the rules
And hanging onto their bar stools
And getting married in a honky tonk bar

They got married in a honky tonk bar
Said their vows on a 6-string steel guitar
He'd been in love from the moment he saw her
All those years ago at the livestock show
So he's just a rodeo clown
He ain't much, just the biggest damn fool in town
Now, his best man couldn't come around
'Cause he died hard and slow down in Mexico

Well, God bless us fools
For stumbling all over your rules
And falling off our bar stools
And getting married in a honky tonk bar
