So if the ties that bind ever do come looseTie them in a knot like a hangman's nooseCause I'll go to heaven or I'll go to hellBefore I'll see you with someone else.

Here lies the girl whose only crutchWas loving one man just a little too muchIf you go before I doI'm gonna tell the gravedigger that he better dig two.

It won't be whiskey, won't be methIt'll be your name on my last breathIf divorce or death ever do us partThe coroner will call it a broken heart

Watching you stand alone, all of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow.

I took your name when I took those vowsI meant 'em back then and I mean 'em right now.

If the ties that bind ever do come looseIf forever ever ends for youIf that ring gets a little too tightYou might as well read me my last rights.

a penny for my thoughts oh no i'll sell em for a dollar their worth so much more after im a goner and then maybe you'll hear the words ive been singing funny when your dead how people start listening
