Zoe Cummins & Gabe Lee

[Verse 1]
Got a one-room rental and two last names
We got a dog and a Dodge and our money all spends the same
And I heard your mama say we wouldn't make it this far
But you and me honey we know what we are

[Chorus]
We ain't traditional, workin' things out as a ritual
You don't quit 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
To some it might not be common sense, but the judge calls it common law

[Verse 2]
If you ever left my sisters would beat your ass
Ha! and the county clerk would make me give you half my cash
Wouldn't be much!
I don't worry naw, that don't cross my mind
Joke's on you
Because without me you couldn't even read a traffic sign

[Chorus]
Hey, we ain't traditional, workin' things out as a ritual
You don't quit 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
To some it might not be common sense, but the judge calls it common law

[Spoken]
Wish you'd pick these dishes up Gabe
It's your mess
No no no, it's our mess

[Bridge]
I roll the joints
And I cook the food
We done everything except "I do"

[Chorus]
Ain't traditional, workin' things out as a ritual
You don't quit 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
To some it might not be common sense
But the judge here in Davidson County, Tennessee calls it common law, yeah
