Lyrics
?Tied The Knot?
by Joel Chisler
1st verse
At the tender age of 36 I finally took me a wife
I ain?t afraid to say it, but she probably saved my life
I was headed for disaster like a runaway train
Abusing my body and destroying my brain
Chorus
Then I tied the knot and it straightened me out
I found me a good lovin? woman boys that?s what I?m talkin??bout
I was heading down the wrong highway buddy there ain?t no doubt
Then I tied the knot and it straightened me out
2nd verse
I never missed a party and I was out most every night
My face looked like a roadmap from all those barroom fights
I?d run with every goodtime girl that came down the pike
And I never met a bottle of beer I didn?t like
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Now I got me a brand new mother-in-law
And I have to cut the grass
Every time I?m out of line she?s always on my-------
I?ve got money in my pocket and even more in my account
Because I tied the knot and it straightened me out
Tag
Yes I tied the knot and it straightened me out
