State line, we crossed it
At twelve o'clock
Marriage man, he answered
Our very first knock

A honeymoon hotel
Two weeks of love in bloom
A few uncertain months and
Then a bleak and lonely room

Divorce court
And fate had lowered the boom

Teen ex-husband, teen ex-wife
Beat before we started
Seems a shame to be so young
And yet so broken hearted

Back to school, where we
Should have been all along
It's over now and time
Has proven us wrong

But maybe later on
Right now, we don't know when
We'll try to do it over
The way it should have been

The church house
And it will be lasting then

Teen ex-husband, teen ex-wife
Beat before we started
Seems a shame to be so young
And yet so broken hearted

Seems a shame to be so young
And yet so broken hearted
Teen-ex, young and broken hearted
Teen-ex, young and broken hearted
