lyrics

Is it time to get married?
Have you got the love for me?
There’s a bottle in the carriage
It’s not too hard to see

There’ve been promises made
From the time I learned your name
Honey, I’m just praying it’s a different game

Are you selling off the horses
Are we headed to the hills?
All these bands remind me
Being left alone’s a thrill

I thought your girl was asking ‘round
But the money never came
Honey, I’m just praying it’s a different game

So I thought it time to tell you
All the troubles I could find
Shouting like you asked me
With someone on your mind

I was tired, broken too
Bad for treating you
Honey, I’m just hoping to see more of you

Won’t you ride with me to Jericho?
I’ve got some people there
Sweating out the winter
Like some exposed affair

They’re ticked again I’m sure
Is a country still at war?
Making up again how good it might be for ‘em

So I thought it time to tell you
All the troubles I could find
Shouting like you asked me
With someone on your mind

There’ve been promises made
From the time I learned your name
Honey I’m just praying it’s a different game
