I woke up this morning
Feeling a little groggy
The ethanol hadn't quite worn off
My darlin' had woke up
Three times as early
I knew somethin' was amiss

She walked in, got on her knees
And asked me to marry
As a single tear rolled
From her eye

Flattered and stuck up
I paid her no mind
And dozed off, and she began to cry

Why couldn't I have changed my mind
I told her that I love her forever
It's only a lifetime together
Just until the day that we die

Scared, she convinced herself
We'd fallen in love
I made plans to skip out of town
And I left her, stranded
In the place she didn't know
But I promised not to let her drown

I couldn't have changed my mind
Told her I love her forever
It's only a lifetime together
Just until the day that we die
Just until the day that we die
Just until the day that we die
