We'll start out with fancy sheets And wear them down so thin I'll get myself a coal black suit I'll never wear again Your Mama will give us china And your Daddy give us hell And when we make our getaway They're gonna ring those wedding bells "One for sorrow, two for joy" they say I've had my fill of sorrow anyway I was driving out on County N With my high-beam headlights on In the late night FM no man's land Looking for a Tom Petty song The Perseids were falling In that hothouse August night I saw two come down together And I thought it looked about right "One for sorrow, two for joy" they say I've had my fill of sorrow anyway And we'll have a hundred babies And a little house outside of town With a wood-stove and a claw-foot tub When we're all done traveling around "One for sorrow, two for joy" they say And I've had my fill of sorrow anyway And it's "one for sorrow, two for joy" I know And I've been one for sorrow far too long Far too long
