A Married Man (1985) Lyrics by Bill Morrissey

Fast Folk Musical Magazine (Vol. 2, No. 1)

0

[Verse 1]
\nWell, I got married and settled down
\nI use a smaller brush now to paint the town
\nI still drink my whiskey, I just water it down
\nWell, no more showing up in night court
\nOne day late and two dollars short
\nI still play the dogs but just for sport
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nA married man, a married man
\nWell, some women think they can turn a bum into a saint
\nOh, look out mama, now here I come
\nYou got the same old bum with a new coat of paint
\n
\n[Verse 2]
\nOh, I'm in love this time, I swear it's true
\nI meant both words when I said "I do"
\nAnd I liked it when she said it too
\nI ain't no sow's ear, I ain't no silk purse
\nI spend my days at home writing idiot verse
\nStill my wife knows shе could have done much worse
\n
\n[Chorus]
\nA marriеd man, a married man
\nWell, some women think they can turn a bum into a saint
\nOh, look out mama, now here I come
\nYou got the same old bum with a new coat of paint
\n
\n[Verse 3]
\nWell, there's two names printed on the checks
\nThere's Bud in the fridge instead of Beck's
\nAnd I ain't seen any side effects
\nYeah, I got married and settled down
\nI use a smaller brush now to paint the town
\nI still drink my whiskey, I just water it down
\nI water it down\n\n
