[VERSE]
She was nice and clean for a red neck girl,
but walked like an ape in high heels.
She married a rock star unemployed,
But for her his star was real.
She had a suit from a Goodwill store.
Her shoes belong to someone dead.
It’s the only one she can afford
You think that’s bad you should see her in bed
[CHORUS]
It’s the best it gets when you live like this
(You marry someone like me)
The world is seen through your TV screen
(You marry someone like me)
It’s the best it gets when your life don’t fit
You marry someone like me
You’ll end up marrying someone like me
[VERSE]
She had a child but she forgot his name,
So some of us just call him Bob.
He’s a son to the state, he's insane,
Believes he’s something he’s not.
A homeless shelter in the Texas heat,
Excitement wasted on her youth.
She thought it’d be fun to live on the street
The adventure was all brand new
[CHORUS]
It’s the best it gets from years of therapy
(You marry someone like me)
They see the girl as a special kid
(You marry someone like me)
It’s the best it gets when families breed
They marry someone like me
They’ll marry someone like me
[BRIDGE]
She spent her youth on magazines,
Dreaming of being someone else.
Married off at the age of 16,
And lost all respect for herself.
(That’s why) They think she’s all insane
(That’s why) Insane in the brain
(That’s why) Now she’s all insane
She thought it’d be fun to live on the street
The adventure was all brand new
[CHORUS]
It’s the best it gets when you live like this
(You marry someone like me)
The world is seen through your TV screen
(You marry someone like me)
It’s the best it gets when your life don’t fit
You marry someone like me
You’ll end up marrying someone like me
LIKE ME!
[SOLO]
[CHORUS]
It’s the best it gets when you live like this
(You marry someone like me)
The world is seen through your TV screen
(You marry someone like me)
It’s the best it gets when your life don’t fit
You marry someone like me
You’ll end up marrying someone like me
You’ll end up marrying someone like me
[CHORUS]
It’s the best it gets from years of therapy
(You marry someone like me)
They see the girl as a special kid
(You marry someone like me)
It’s the best it gets when families breed
They marry someone like me
[SOLO TO END]
