I wrote this song for my sweetie and I. We talked about getting married and decided not to. It took me a while to work through my feelings about not getting married, but in the end, I realized that it’s really all about the commitment you make to each other, not the church ceremony.
True love is just bigger than all of that.
Shacked-Up Sweetie

We don’t need an age-old institution,
Certifying us as husband and wife
A gray-haired preacher, and a ceremony,
Is not required, to keep our love alive
CHORUS:
Shacked-up sweeties, I’m your woman not the wife
You’re not my old man, You keep me rockin’ all night
We are shacked up sweeties, together for life
In this world of online dating and mating,
We could have found lovers any-where
When you asked me out, I called you crazy,
Good old friends, in a lifelong love affair
Repeat Chorus
Don’t go thinkin; that I’m gonna leave you,
‘cause I don’t wear a wedding ring
The love we have’s the best we’ve ever known,
And when I see you, my heart still does that thing
Repeat Chorus
You’re my shacked-up sweetie,
I’m gonna love you for life
