Matrimony Lyrics - Whiskeytown

Well, I'm savin' this dress for my wedding day 

Momma wouldn't have it any other way 

She says, when she married, her waist was twenty three 

I guess, I'll never wear it anyway 

I don't believe I care to marry 

Though I cannot explain exactly why 

It somehow seems to me, matrimony is misery 

Simply a faster way to die 

I'm savin' all my money for my wedding day 

You know, my momma wouldn't have it any other way 

She says, when she married, she didn't' have a dime 

I guess, I'll spend that money some other way 

Because I don't believe I care to marry 

Although I cannot say exactly why 

It somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery 

Simply a faster way to die 

Well, I'm savin' my best thing for my wedding day 

Because my poppa wouldn't have it any other way 

He says, if I lose it early, I'll have thrown my life away 

But I swear, I'll use my cherry my own way 

I don't believe I care to marry 

Though I cannot explain exactly why 

It somehow seems to me, matrimony is misery 

Simply a faster way to die
