"All Jokes Aside" lyrics - HANK WILLIAMS, JR.

You think this band, on my left hand
Don't really mean anything to me
You think you're here just to be convenient,
And you're just around to please me.
You think you're plain, and that is so strange
'cause everyone else can sure see, that you
Are truly beautiful, and you mean everything to me.

And all jokes aside - I want you by my side
For the rest of my life - always be my Bride
No, I ain't kiddin' around - 'til they put
Me in the ground
I'll love you for all time - all jokes aside

Now I know that I'm not the perfect husband,
But I've done the best that I can.
Honey if that is not good enough, don't worry
'cause I'll understand.

And for everytime that I've ever hurt you,
I'll probably answer to the Man.
And my heart's full of pride, 'cause I'm
Serious tonight; I just wanna keep this ring
On my hand.

And all jokes aside - I want you by my side.
For the rest of my life - always be my Bride.
No, I ain't kiddin' around - 'til they put
Me in the ground; I'll love you for all time,
And I'm serious tonight - all jokes aside.
