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...
