Well, a bride is a picture in a gown at a modern war
When she was married herself nearly 27 years before
They had to change her style a little bit, but it looked just fine
He said up all night that they'd got to finish just in time
Now on the other wall, the dead choose to walk in down the aisle
Well, then she catches my eye and she gives me a secret smile
Maybe it's too old-fashioned, but we once were close friends
But with the way that she loves today, she never could have been
Well, I see her alive in her tight blue jeans
Pumping all the money in her wrecking machine
Spitting like a top, you should have seen it go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Now her proud little daddy only wanted to give his girl a kiss
And so he put down a grand on a cozy little love's nest
You could have called the reception a qualified success
And a fresh hotel for 150 guests
Take a look at the bride, girl, smile and please just pie
Shake your hands all around through the glass and look in his eye
He's got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice
But I remember a time when she would never even look at it twice
But I see her alive drinking with the boys
Breaking their hearts like they were their toys
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I'm still alive with the headphones on
Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song
I still remember when she used to bother make a loud noise
Half a mile from the street callin' boys
She used to love to party, she used to love to go
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
Well I can see her now with her headphones on
Jumpin' up and down to her favorite song
I still remember when she used to bother make a loud noise
Half a mile from the street callin' boys
She used to love to party, she used to love to go
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bribe when she used to rock and roll
