Wedding Dress Lyrics - Jerry Leger

Do you recognize yourself 

All pretty in that wedding dress 

A toast to the morning's health 

Long way from its happiness 

Watching today's sunset 

In the winter's biting chill 

Thought of us in a single bed 

When you were no other's girl 

Was it really a short sight 

Did you finally get it right 

Leave me in the back end of your heart 

Did you find a sense of success 

Between money and its nonsense 

Baby has everything to get her off 

You used to live real free 

Sporting rags and tying tongues 

We'd talk of how nice it would be 

Running away to find our fun 

But you got the urge and left 

When you saw I'd never grow up 

Painting pictures of memories 

Wasting time on day to day luck 

You said it was a silly crush 

Said I should put down that brush 

Take this life more seriously 

But I saw it was just your fears 

Behind the old steering wheel 

Baby gets scared once the rush wears off 

I'm still struggling good 

Poor and happy most times 

Then I read your letter's words 

Never got me off your mind 

Would I come meet you 

Where we slept in the dirt 

And we were lit up like a country fair 

And you were no other's girl 

That was then and this is regret 

But if you could do it over again 

Would you really walk the walk 

See for me it's ok 

'Cause I never really loved you anyway 

I knew someday you'd be heading off 

Do you recognize yourself 

All pretty in that wedding dress 

A toast to the morning's health 

Long way from its happiness
