They're throwing rice up in the air,
To consummate the grand affair,
Went from a widow to an heir,
Now you've got some in your hair,
And the stars are shining bright,
As you bid them all good night,
You blow a kiss goodbye,
And snap the garter on your thigh.
A loyal truth, a sacred vow,
All got you to this point somehow,
You took the harness from the plow,
And hitched it to a sacred cow,
And the sun began to shine,
On the matrimony vine,
The fruit fell to your feet,
But, the taste was bittersweet.
They say the grass is always greener,
Over there, on the other side,
And each blade is sweet seduction,
For a widow or a bride.
You stood there doing dishes,
Looking out across the green,
Ran the towel 'cross the blade,
Tossed it down in the ravine.
They're throwing rice up in the air,
As you glide down the wooden stair,
He never was a millionaire,
But, you thank The Lord in prayer,
And your wedding dress is white,
As you depart with your knight,
Head out for a green field,
And lay down his sword and shield.
They say the grass is always greener,
Over there, on the other side,
And each blade is sweet seduction,
For a widow or a bride.
You stood there doing dishes,
Looking out across the green,
Ran the towel 'cross the blade,
Tossed it down in the ravine.
