Happily Married Man (Live in ’79)

[Verse 1]
I don't cheat on my woman
There's no adultery in my heart
So this song might not be sordid enough
To get it on the country charts
Now, clean living might not sell records
But I ain't looking for any fans
When I say I love my darling wife
And I'm a happily married man

[Verse 2]
Now, if I had a lover waiting in every town
I'd have enough songs for an album or two
Telling how I fooled around
But I can't write about a two-timing life
Like some of them superstars can
I may not have a hit, but in spite of it
I'm a happily married man

[Chorus]
Happily married man
Signed, sealed and faithful
From the beginning, that's the way the Good Lord had it planned
And when it comes to being hitched
I'd rather fight than switch
That is why I'm taking a happily married stand

Play it, Jerry, rock and roll!

[Guitar Solo]

You never could play it country

[Verse 3]
Now listen
Now divorce has gone big business
To fool around is really in
People dress it up and call 'em love affairs
When God just calls it sin
What they need is the Good Lord's guidance
The foundation of his mighty hand
To bind a happily married woman
To a happily married man

[Chorus]
Happily married man
Signed, sealed and faithful
From the beginning, that's the way the Good Lord had it planned
And when it comes to being hitched
I'd rather fight than switch
That is why I'm taking a happily married stand

[Chorus]
Happily married man
Signed, sealed and faithful
From the beginning, that's the way the Good Lord, he had it planned
And when it comes to being hitched
I'd rather fight than switch
That is why I'm taking a happily married stand

[Jerry Chamberlain]
I dare you to tell them again

[Outro]
That is why I'm taking a happily married stand

[Terry Taylor]
I double dare you to tell them again

[Chamberlain]
Okay

[Outro]
That is why I'm taking a happily married stand
