Paul Nelson - Please Don't Marry

Please don’t marry a musician
Don’t put yourself in that position
Wondering where they are
When they’re not with their guitar

Please don’t marry a physician
Don’t put yourself in that position
Wondering where they are
When they’re not in the ER

Please don’t marry a magician
Don’t put yourself in that position
Wondering where they are
When their magic’s gone too far

Please don’t marry a mortician
Don’t put yourself in that position
Wondering where they are
When they’re not driving that long car

Please don’t marry a statistician
Don’t put yourself in that position
Wondering where they are
When the odds are they’re at a bar

Paul Nelson
