fifty years they've been married 
And they can't wait for their fifty first to roll around 
Yeah, roll around 
thirty years they've been married 
And now they're old and happy and they settle down 
Settle down yeah! 
Twenty years they've been married 
And they did everything that could be done 
You know their havin' fun 

And then [bad word] along and talk about 

So you say you wanna be married 
I'm gonna change your mind 
Oh got to change 
That was the good side baby  [bad word] the bad side 

Ten years they've been married 
And a thousand [bad word] around hungry 
Cause ther mother's a louse 
Daddy's down at the wihiskey house 
That ain't all 

For thirty years they've been married 
They don't get along so good 
They're tired of each other, you know how that goes 
She got another lover 
Huh same old thing 

So now you're seventeen [bad word] around hanging out, and a havin' your fun 
Life for you has just begun, baby 

And then [bad word] saying 
So you, you say you wanna get married 
Oh baby trying to put me on a chain 
Aint that some shame 
You must be losing your, sweet little mind 
I ain't ready yet, baby, I ain't ready 
I'm gonna change your mind 

Oooh look out baby 
Oh 
I ain't ready 
I ain't ready 
I ain't ready 

Let me live 
Let me live 
Let me live a little longer
