One For Sorrow

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
