Pretend you never met me
You were hers for all along
Pretend your eyes don't come back, wandering to me
And you don't listen for my song

I don't wanna die from being shot by a gun
But all my red-hat tweaker neighbors have the right to carry one
No, I want to die in the arms
Of Thia Kane from Sutton farms
Her daddy says I'm trailer trash
I'll pay to have him shot in glass

Oh I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal or cheat or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride

Oh Thia please, won't you be true?
Like in my dreams, you'll say you do
I'll steal a horse, I'll learn to ride
We'll leave here by tomorrow night

Who's that girl you're gonna see?
What do you mean you're scared of me?
I promise that my love is true
My heart, it beats just for you

And I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal or cheat or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride

If you should ever leave me
Lay me down by silver waters
Oh beloved, don't deceive me
I'll be dead before martyr

Oh and I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal or cheat or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride

And I, I'll never lie
I'll never steal or cheat or gamble, drink or die
I've never breathed a thing that got me so damn high
I'll close the door in old death's face
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
Oh Thia, be my Georgia bride
