Our plans were forever
When we made them
Ah, but somewhere along the way
Something changed them
All the love we vowed to give
To one another
Got lost somewhere
Between the preacher
And the lawyer
Somewhere between the preacher
And the lawyer
Somewhere between the courthouse
And the altar
There's a million memories
Of tender lovers
Somewhere between the preacher
And the lawyer
God, what happened
To all those good intentions?
We stumbled through so many
Bad conditions
Till finally
We just couldn't go no farther
Ah, we tried it all
Between the preacher
And the lawyer
Somewhere between the preacher
And the lawyer
Somewhere between the courthouse
And the altar
There's a million memories
Of tender lovers
Somewhere between the preacher
And the lawyer
