As written and sung by Matt Abbot and Meghan Shapiro, 11.12.11, in Austin, Texas
Brummett was a student at the college here in town
She was the class vice president, university renowned.
A brilliant blonde go-getter, taking politics by storm,
She walked the walk and talked the talk, but still she wanted more.
She’d eventually leave Austin, but she didn’t know quite when
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
When Behncke went to law school, he was older than the rest
He was playing Professional Soccer when he took the LSAT test.
Had he been a little faster, or made a few more plays
He might still be playing soccer with Real Salt Lake.
But he moved himself to Austin and he made a few new friends
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
Behncke first met Brummett at a 4B meet and greet
At romantic Double Dave’s down on Duval street
Brummett wasn’t looking, but Behncke didn’t mind
‘Cuz when it comes to dating, he takes his own sweet time
He’ll ask her out at some point, God only knows when
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
Get-togethers at the swanky Crown and Anchor Bar
With some drunken out of towner, some pilot from Lemoore.
Study groups and bar reviews and broken collar bones,
It’s frankly quite a wonder you didn’t give up and go home.
They finally got together, or so we understand,
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
They graduated law school, they had to move away
Hoping they might get to live together again someday
She to New York City … to do tax law??… lots of fun!
He to old Kentucky, nothing but boredom
But Texas was a’callin and they met up in Houston
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
Then came the proposal, a romantic evening in
Brummett was all sweaty –pretty – just back from the gym
Suggested to Brummett, “You should shower and get dressed.”
Brummett said, “No thank you, I’m just fine the way I am.”
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
Brummehnkce’s getting married, some things will probably change
No longer will Brummett pretend to enjoy soccer games.
There couldn’t be a better reason to be here tonight
Not even this song can ruin it – ‘cause when it’s right it’s right.
All our love and our best wishes to the happy newlyweds
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
All our love and our best wishes to the happy newlyweds
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
