Bride & Bridle Lyrics

i came back on the trail of a man

things are the same as when i left

well, i so wanted to say hey

but i know you think my sentence was too light



now, time should have put this behind us

some things i won't soon forget

bride & bridle are too close in a man's mind

and i know you think my sentence was too light



you, you weren't true

but i can't blame a woman who changes

three thousand, six hundred, and fifty-odd days i waited



time, i did my time



now i long since quit feeling my hands

still, three men have a date with me

i could have found them all before now

and i know they think my sentence was too light



your father bet ten years against this day

he wed his girl to a better man

but he stands here now with his hat in his hands

and i know he thinks my sentence was too light
