Teenage marriage

(Edward McBride)

These lyrics tell the story of a teenage rural couple who have unprotected sex and she gets pregnant. He could walk away but does the right thing and they will get married.

We started out as high school sweethearts
We did not know what love was
we only knew the passion
Hey, where's the shotgun, it's a wedding
The teenage couple forced into marriage
They said that it would fail
I had turned so pale
The license in the mail

Chorus
You grow up fast
we have no money
you hope it will last
It's tough luck honey
We will get help
I work the land
Don't cry, don't yelp
That's where we stand

The child was one
we made it two
I worked the ranch
from morning to night
to feed the hungry kids
My wife worked hard
at making quilts
All colors of the rainbow

Chorus
You grow up fast
we have no money
you hope it will last
it's tough luck honey
We will get help
I work the land
Don't cry, don't yelp
That's where we stand

They grow up fast
it's in the past
Just how we got it started
It will soon be three
get off that tree
We thank the Lord
for helping us
stay healthy

Chorus
You grow up fast
we have no money
you hope it will last
It's tough luck honey
we will get help
I work the land
Don't cry, don't yelp
That's where we stand

Mental torture

By Edward McBride

Many women in a relationship feel that knowingly or unknowingly their partner puts them through mental torture. It may be from a lack of self confidence, or empowerment. Then there is the breaking point and lives are changed forever, especially the one who has been imposing the mind games and now cannot handle the consequences. It is a steep slide from depression to taking your own life.
