I met her at a honky tonk in Dallas
A little place that's just outside of town
Over one too many beers we discussed
And decided that we'd like to settle down

So I bought a golden band and got a license
And found the preached just to make things right
But it ended all too soon I'm on a one man honeymoon
And that's how I'm gonna spend my wedding night

Cause she didn't let the things write on the paper
And everything I own is on her name
No she didn't let the things write on the paper
And that honky tonk in Dallas was to blame
[ steel ]
So I bought a golden band and got a license...
Cause she didn't let the things...
Yes that honky tonk in Dallas was to blame
