Hello, I'm Johnny Cash Well, the pigeons ate the wedding rice And exploded somewhere over San Antonio I picked up the newlyweds and asked them Where they wanted to go They said "We don't care, we don't know, anywhere, just go" Ever since I'd gotten married I started working weddings Driving this long white limo They'd had their ceremony in Bracketville At that phony Alamo We were 30 miles from the border of Mexico Well, they're in the back laughing about some uncle named Jack Who got too drunk, and during his speech The tears started to flow Well, they seemed like a match So I stopped looking for cracks in their road, and just drove Outside of Concan, the groom noticed the gold band on my left hand And said "You got any advice for us, old man?" Well, I thought for a mile, as I drove with a smile Then I said when you are dating, you only see each other And the rest of us can go to hell But when you are married, you're married to the whole wide world The rich, the poor The sick and the well The straights, and the gays And the people who say we don't use these terms these days The salt and the soil After I'd said my piece We drove on in silence for a spell How my words had gone over, I couldn't tell Potent advice or preachy as hell But when I see people about to marry I become something of a plenipotentiary I just think it's good as you probably can tell Went to Adams from the Big Bang Get back together with the old gang I dropped them at a fancy dancy boutique hotel And I drive off alone, but I'm not alone Sincerely, L Comb
