For Better or for Worse

[Verse 1]
It's not the love and honor, it's that promise to obey that makes me think
By marrying we might be doing wrong
And 'until death do you part' just seems to choke me up to say
My love's for better or for worse, but not for long

[Bridge]
Because the season soon will start in Hialeah
Every year, I like to see the horses run
And if I lose, it's just a short trip to Miami
Where a beach bum always finds some winter fun

[Verse 2]
I was a-hoping our relationship could stay the way it's been
And I'd feel guilty if I tried to put you on
You seem to want more than the understanding we made a-way back when
For better or for worsе, but not for long

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Well, if it's any comfort, when I leavе, it won't be someone else
To turn my head and made me leave you far behind
Your competition is the wanderlust and follow it somehow I must
You've kept my heart content but not my mind

[Bridge]
Well, you might see me on a newscast from Sun Valley
I hear the skiing's fine there in July
Or I might just top the rocks on the next spaceship
'cause they tell me it's the only way to fly

[Verse 4]
So no matter what the postmark reads, from Tahoe to Tangier
I'm where it's happening and that's where I belong
And I really mean the note "I'm having fun, wish you were here"
For better or for worse, but not for long
Well, my love's for better or for worse, but not for long
