"I Should Have Married You" lyrics

We were walking down the boardwalk
Watching stars out on the ocean
We were drunk on margaritas
And that might have been my moment
But we stood there in silence
And watched the waves crash

Vacation with your family
After midnight, in the kitchen
I was hangin' with your dad
I could have asked him but I didn't
I don't know why, I guess I thought I had more time

If I hadn't been so young and stupid
Yeah, I let somebody beat me to it
Don't know what you got until you lose it
Guess I blew it, baby
I should have married you

That's just the way it goes
I should have seen it through
I should have let you know
I should have said I do
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you

Maybe I thought I needed freedom
Maybe it's all about the timing
Maybe I wouldn't let my ego
Let somebody tie me down
Aw, but I can't blame you for not waitin' around

If I hadn't been so young and stupid (I wish I would have known, wish I would have known)
Yeah, I let somebody beat me to it (Whoa, yeah)
Don't know what you got until you lose it
Guess I blew it, baby
I should have married you

That's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
I should have seen it through (Seen it through)
I should have let you know (Let you know)
I should have said I do (Said I do)
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you

Whoa-oh, oh
Whoa-oh, oh

If I hadn't been so young and stupid (I wish I would have known, wish I would have known)
I let somebody beat me to it (Whoa, yeah)
Don't know what you got until you lose it
Guess I blew it, baby
I should have married you

That's just the way it goes (Way it goes)
I should have seen it through (Seen it through)
I should have let you know (Let you know)
I should have said I do (Said I do)
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you
Back when I still had the chance, yeah
I should have married you
