Little Hope Baptist Church
She was born in a house half a mile down the road
from the city limit sign of a town called Little Hope
We fell in love and we couldn't wait so we set a date
Went home to meet her folks
We were making our plans and she said I wanna
take our vows in a little old church where I grew up
And I have to admit and I felt kind a nervous,
but I laughed out loud when I read the sign out front
How were we to know on the day that we
married that it would go from bad to worse
What do you expect when you tie the
knot in The Little Hope Baptist Church
Well it rained all day and the limo got stuck in the
mud and the cake got ruined with the bridesmaids fog.
And the best man violated his parole when he
never showed with the wedding ring I bought.
The gate came loose and the cows got out and
the DJ quit when they knocked the whole tent down.
And old brother Bob said a prayer for us and
said "keep the faith", but I really had my doubts.
How were we to know on the day that we
married that it would go from bad to worse
What do you expect when you tie the
knot in The Little Hope Baptist Church.
The members of the church said we'll never gonna last
we were way to young and it must be a sign from the lord
They thought for sure that we were doomed but
our honeymoon turned out great in Pigeon Forge
We're still together after all these years,
happy AS can be and our love's still growing strong
And to stand here today with her hand in mine I
got a smile on my face, I guess we proved them wrong
Well it
Might be true on the day that we were
married things went from bad to worse
Well now here we are re-doing our vows
In The Little Hope Baptist Church
from the city limit sign of a town called Little Hope
