[Verse 1] I was washing glassware Under the B.A.R. sign You wore a bright headwrap And a grin that shined You slid me a cold one Said, "Boy, don't overthink" I lost my nerve by midnight At the edge of the sink [Pre-Chorus] You laughed like summer rain On a tin roof line And every word you said Made that whole room mine [Chorus] Marry me, barroom queen Marry me tonight Marry me, barroom queen Make this old heart right I’d trade my lonely boots For a ring and a vow Marry me, barroom queen If you’ll have me now [Verse 2] Then you set down the glasses Bowed your head so slow Dropped to one bent knee Right there on the floor You said, "I know what I want" And the whole place cheered The jukebox skipped a heartbeat When your smile got near [Pre-Chorus] My hands were shaking hard But my voice stayed true I said, "Yes, ma'am, forever" And I walked to you [Chorus] Marry me, barroom queen Marry me tonight Marry me, barroom queen Make this old heart right I’d trade my lonely boots For a ring and a vow Marry me, barroom queen If you’ll have me now [Bridge] By Sunday morning There was lace on the chair Her family in the front row Love everywhere We danced past the tables With tears in our eyes One kiss turned a barroom Into a whole new life [Chorus] Marry me, barroom queen Marry me tonight Marry me, barroom queen Make this old heart right I’d trade my lonely boots For a ring and a vow Marry me, barroom queen If you’ll have me now [Outro] If you’ll have me now If you’ll have me now Marry me, barroom queen
