I Would Have Married You
Tim Easton

As I move along the roadway
the Los Angelas highway
I travel along
sometimes fast, but mostly slow
and I think about you
I think about you

I met a girl named Mercedes
She was sweet and beautiful
She had a son
she could talk about him on and on
I just thought about you
I only thought about you

Of all the things that you said you wanted to do
there was only one time when I wouldn't let you
Of all the things that you said that you wanted to be
I remember the last thing that you promised me
You said, "I would have married you.."

When I first left you
I was proud and dangerous
I was alive, I was alive and alone
I never thought about you, I never thought about you

Well it wasn't much later
I thought I woke up beside you
And I called out your name
But you were 2000 miles away
And I cried about you, I cried about you

Of all the things that you said you wanted to do
there was only one time when I wouldn't let you
Of all the things that you said that you wanted to be
I remember the last thing that you promised me
You said, "I would have married you.."

I would have married you

First there were some bruises
And then we made excuses
I would never harm you
Someone had to warn you

Of all the things that you said you wanted to do
there was only one time when I wouldn't let you
Of all the things that you said that you wanted to be
I remember the last thing that you promised me
You said, "I would have married you.."

I would have married you
I would have married you
