Lyrics

Written by daryl burgess, liz hengber and leanne burgess

The day's finally here
There's flowers everywhere
The guests are waitin' with sweet anticipation
As I look down the aisle
The preacher stops an' smiles
Church bells are ringin' an' the organ is playin'
I'm so overcome that I could cry
I'm so happy I'm not the bride

She's such a pretty thing
She don't know anythin':
Ain't gonna tell her that she's outta her mind
The preacher asks the question:
No, I got no objection
I do, I do; I want him out of my life
Throw the rice an' let those white doves fly:
Oh, happy day: I'm not the bride

Eat some more cake
Throw the bouquet
Pass the champagne, it's time to celebrate
I'm gonna dance this night away
Whoa, whoa, yeah

Instrumental break

The groom is gettin' loud
His new wife starts to shout
Oh, this is perfect, it can only get better
They're fightin' in the car, off to a real good start
His momma's cryin'. aren't they lovely together?
They're drivin' away, we're wavin' goodbye
Close call, relax, amen, hallelujah
By the grace of god go i: I'm not the bride
Well, I'm not the bride

I'm free, I'm free, I'm free
I'm not the bride
Thank god!

Goodbye now
Good luck girl
You're gonna need it
Ha, ha, ha
