October 98 Winning Country Lyrics and Review

Went to see an old friend 
I needed some advice 
I was gonna ask my darlin' 
If she'd like to be my wife 
Got no congratulations 
He just stared at me and said 
Here's the number for my lawyer 
Might be misery ahead 

Chorus 

Married ain't a word 
It's a sentence for life 
Some folks find a prison 
and some find paradise 
"I do" will commit you 
So prepare to pay your price 
Married ain't a word 
It's a sentence for life 
 

Considered all he told me 
Then I said a silent prayer 
I sold my Chevy pick up truck 
To buy a diamond solitaire 
Those church bells started ringin' 
and my darlin' appeared 
I was shakin' at the altar 
With the devil in my ear 

Repeat Chorus 

Bridge 
I been doin' time for years now 
Don't want to be paroled 
I love bein' chained to her 
By 14-Karat gold 
Some call a marriage a prison 
Wanna break their bonds and fly 
My word for it is heaven 
and I'm in this sentence for life 

Repeat Chorus

Marriage is a delicate subject, and, like religion and politics, most people have strong opinions about it and they're uaually either "fer it" or "agin it." I like the treatment Steve gives this topic, a good subject for country lyrics. Both camps are represented with good word choices and clever lines.
