Common Law Lyrics by Zoe Cummins & Gabe Lee
We got a one room rental and two last names
We got a dog and a Dodge and the money all spends the same
And I heard your momma say we wouldn’t make it this far
But you and me, honey, we know what we are
We ain’t traditional
Working things out is a ritual
You don’t quit a love that’s habitual
Just because a couple of flaws
But hey, in our defense
We can’t afford a ring or a picket fence
For some it might not be common sense
But the judge calls it common law
If you ever left, my sisters would beat your ass
And the county clerk would make me give you half my cash
(Wouldn’t be much)
I don’t worry none ’cause that don’t cross my mind
(Joke’s on you)
Because without me, you couldn’t even read a traffic sign
Hey, we ain’t traditional
Working things out is a ritual
You don’t quit a love that’s habitual
Just because a couple of flaws
But hey, in our defense
We can’t afford a ring or a picket fence
For some it might not be common sense
But the judge calls it common law
(Wish you’d pick these dishes up, Gabe
It’s your mess
No, no, no, it’s our mess)
I roll the joints
And I cook the food
Doing everything except “I do”
Ain’t traditional
But working things out is a ritual
You don’t quit a love that’s habitual
Just because a couple of flaws
But hey, in our defense
We can’t afford a ring or a picket fence
For some it might not be common sense
But the judge here in Davidson County, Tennessee
Calls it common law, yeah
