The Girl I Almost Married By Joey Harris

The Beat Farmers, "Poor And Famous", Curb Records, 1987

Drunk again out on the front lawn Her dress pulled up and the moon is shinin' I swear that girl's drunk up all of my tequila I guess I better get her 'fore the trash man finds her, yeah

Long past when I'm dead and buried She'll still be bangin' around The girl I almost married

Met her in a bar when she was nineteen I was twenty-nine goin' on sixty-five Said she knew a better way to get my kicks Now I'm stuck with her till the day I die, oh yeah

Long past when I'm dead and buried She'll still be bangin' around The girl I almost married

(bridge) And though I know she'll probably kill me I know I'd die if she weren't with me

This little girl's got the soul of an old man She says life is short you gotta grab it with both hands And if by chance we happen to go over We spend all week in bed with the sweetest hangover, yeah

Long past when I'm dead and buried She'll still be bangin' around The girl I almost married
