I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
Made you wait 'til our wedding night
That's the first and the last
So if the ties that bind ever
Tie them in a knot like a
Before I'll see you with someone else
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger
It won't be whiskey, won't be meth
It'll be your name on my last breath
If divorce or death ever do us part
The coroner will call it a broken heart
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger
I took your name when I took those vows
I meant 'em back then and I
If the ties that bind ever
If forever ever ends for you
If that ring gets a little too tight
You might as well read me
Here lies the girl whose only crutch
Was loving one man just a little too much
Gonna tell the gravedigger
Heavy stone right next to mine,
We'll be together 'til the end of time
Don't you go before I do,
I'm gonna tell the gravedigger
I told you on the day we wed
I was gonna love you 'til I's dead
