For Better or for Worse

It's not the love and honour, it's that promise to obey

That makes me think by marryin' we might be doin' wrong

And until death do you part just seems to choke me up to say

My love's for better or for worse, but not for long

Because the season soon will start in Hialeah

Every year I like to see the horses run

And if I lose it's just a short trip to Miami

Where a beach bum always finds 'em when it's fun

Well I was a hopin' our relationship could stay the way it's been

And I'd feel guilty if I tried to put you on

You seem to want more than the understanding woo we made a way back when

For better or for worse, but not for long

Well if it's any comfort, when I leave it won't be someone else

To turn my head and make me leave you far behind

Your competition is the wanderlust and follow it somehow

I must You kept my heart content but not my mind

Well you might see me on a newscast from Sun Valley

I hear the skiing's fine there in July

Or I might just top the rocks on the next spaceship

'Cause they tell me it's the only way to fly

So no matter what the postmark reads from Tahoe to Tangiers

I'm where it's happening and that's where I belong

And I really mean the note "I'm having fun, wish you were here"

For better or for worse, but not for long

Well my love, better or for worse, but not for long
