Lyrics I Would Have Married You - Tim Easton

I Would Have Married You

As I move along the roadway
The Los Angeles highway
I travel all alone, sometimes fast
But mostly slow slow 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
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 two thousand miles away
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
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
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
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
