Rules Change

Rickey Tate

As I have said many times…I am happily married 99% of the time.
But this song was written in that 1% time frame? Jokingly…..

I disagree with what you see is always what you get
All I said is two little words, now my life is filled with regret
She turned into a crazy girl always pushing me around
I swear I heard those handcuffs “click” when I said my wedding vows

The rules change when you give them a ring
You married men, you know what I mean
where do they go? Those sweet little things
They turn into hormone machines
The rules change when you give them a ring
Go ahead and you’ll see what I mean
Say I do and it’s the end of your dreams
The rules change when you give them a ring

Raise that vail and the preacher man says “you may kiss your bride”
Oh you kiss that little angels face and you kissed your freedom goodbye
It’s not fair to have such a cute face and such deep and tempting eyes
Next thing you know you’re getting ordered around by a woman half your size

Repeat chorus

Now I’m not saying give up on love, but every groom should know this
Into every married will come those things most men will not admit
When your day comes, your not alone, in your suffering
That right to order you around comes with that wedding ring

Intrumental by Michael Pollard guitar/ Randy Will piano

repeat chorus twice and the band keeps playing to fade
(didn’t have time for the third verse)
