Lyrics

Verse 1:

From the day I said I do she started in
With, Man what's wrong with you? and, Where ya been?
It was a total durn surprise
All our courtin' -- it was lies
When I tied the knot it just slipped right under my chin

Chorus A:

Yeah that knot it slipped -- slipped right under my chin
I ask myself why'd I do it -- over and over again
I have no answer much to my chagrin
My life's been hell from the day she started in

Verse 2:

Meetin' and datin', we was happy as could be
She'd say and do things that sure looked like love to me
With words like, I love you...
And ,Honey, what can I do?...
So I took the leap into a future I couldn't see

Verse 3:

She started in the evenin' of our wedding day
No matter what, she always has something to say
Like-- No more ballgames and beer, we'll sit and talk... after that we'll go for a walk
This woman I swear is gonna be the death of me

And like-- Git on now go change them clothes... Comb that hair... Stop pickin' your nose
This woman, I repeat, is gonna be the death of me

Chorus B:

When I tied the knot it just slipped right under my chin
I ask myself why'd I do it... over and over again
I have no answer much to my chagrin
My life's been hell from the day she started in

Verse 4:

So here I am hangin'... gaspin' and feeling the blues
Light-footed... and speechless from the stunning news
My girlfriends were one thing -- this wife's another
The latter's a nag, the former were lovers
All you cowboys be careful of the path you choose.

(Repeat Chorus B:)
