Lyric
Till death do us partWas what she told that preacher manNow she says this ain’t worth dying forShe’s had all she can standShe’s boxed up mama’s chinaIt’s loaded on the truckShe just got started packingAnd I’m thinking this could suckNow there goes my Lazy-BoyMy flat-top guitarHere comes her big sisterWhat’s she doing in my carAs they drive off to the cityI just waveFrom the top of my lungsI hope she heard me sayYou ain’t leaving thank God are youYou can’t be gone fast enoughWhat seemed to take a lifetimeJust left in a cloud of dustThis will make my girlfriend happyShe’s the one who never thought you wouldYou ain’t leaving thank God are youLet us pray you’re gone for goodShe forgot her new laptopSo I know she’ll be backI’ll have a hot tub full of hottiesIcing down a twenty four packShe’ll cuss me like a sailorBut I don’t careI’ll have a few choice wordsWhen I come up for airYou ain’t leaving thank God are youYou can’t be gone fast enoughWhat seemed to take a lifetimeJust left in a cloud of dustThis will make my girlfriend happyShe’s the one who never thought you wouldYou ain’t leaving thank God are youLet us pray you’re gone for goodYou ain’t leaving thank God are youLet us pray you’re gone for goodAdios
