Take a husband who enjoys other women take a wife that's left alone a lot
Take a paycheck that's been all spent on liquior
That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks
See a wife that's starvin' for his lovin'
He takes for granted the best things life has got
Take his whiskey and mix it with my teardrops
That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks
[ steel ]
He can nightspot that's got too fast us women
And you'll find him hangin' round there like as not
He don't know what's inside that glass he's holdin'
That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks
See a wife that's starvin'...
That's the recipe for marriage on the rocks
