[Intro]
Pretend you never met me
You were hers for all along
Pretend your eyes don't come back wandering to me
And you don't listen for my songs
[Verse 1]
I don't want to die from being shot by a gun
But all my red-hat tweaker neighbors have the right to carry one
No, I want to die in the arms of Thia Kane from Sutton farms
Her daddy says I'm trailer trash
I'll pay to have him shot in glass
[Chorus]
Oh I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal, or cheat, or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
[Verse 2]
Oh Thia please, won't you be true
Like in my dreams you say you'll do
I'll steal a horse, I'll learn to ride
We'll leave here by tomorrow night
Who's that girl you're gon' to see
What do you mean you're scared of me
I promise that my love is true
My heart it beats just for you
[Chorus]
And I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal, or cheat, or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
[Bridge]
If you should ever leave me
Lay me down by silver waters
Oh beloved, don't deceive me
I'll be dead before a martyr
[Chorus]
Oh and I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal, or cheat, or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
[Chorus]
And I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal, or cheat, or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
[Outro]
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
