I heard church bells ring 

much like the day we got married 

reviving memories I'd buried

leaving me something to do.... 

So I went back to the threshold

where I'd carried you 

into our house of love,

back when our love was new 

I sat and gazed at the haven 

where we'd dwelt awhile

blurred by the tears from my 

remembering your eager smile.... 

Chorus 

To begin a new life

 as my beautiful wife

spending our days and nights 

sharing the sweet delights 

only true love ignites. 

And I could picture each room 

through time's most infinite gloom

that left a lonely Ex-Groom

wishing we'd turned out right.... 

Cause I was back in town 

just kind of cruising around

down all our old memory lanes

and as I passed the courthouse 

I could still hear that gavel

pounding out my long lost pain.... 

when the judges decree 

took you away from me.

Stealing all of the dreams

I'd ever hoped to see 

again I saw your face

as sad as it could be

when you walked 

away from me

in a long black dress

on that mournful day 

facing what was left

with no eagerness... 

Chorus- 

To become my ex-wife

 for the rest of my life

spending my days and nights 

in that lonely plight

only divorce can ignite. 

And I could picture one buffoon 

through times infinite gloom 

a lonely Ex-Groom 

still wishing....... 

we had turned out right.... 

Then I headed out 

on the road again 

putting the pedal to the metal 

fleeing our way back whens... 

To join all the lanes 

filled up with lonely men 

facing roads that couldn't

ever take them back again, 

except to their dead ends......

 except to their dead ends......
