about

At his mother's living room wedding officiated by her man's brother Duke, he is mesmerized and captivated by the the whole affair... not a white wedding by any means but his first wedding and he studies the process... he notices the look of pride in the preacher's wife's gaze and sees this as a way to make someone proud...

***At his mother's living room wedding officiated by her man's brother Duke, he is mesmerized and captivated by the the whole affair... not a white wedding by any means but his first wedding and he studies the process... he notices the look of pride in the preacher's wife's gaze and sees this as a way to make someone proud...



Nineteen-seventy-nine or was it eight?
This love affair is now a wedding date

at the house
in foggy marina
they looked so happy
Duke did the honors
I like that
Just like Duke
I like that
Standing up
up for them
in the center
I like that
Just like Duke
I like that
Fantasies of a preacher's wife

It seemed so noble and right
to do the honors
her dressed in white
And groom to the nines
I knew I wanted
something to do with all of this
but how on earth will I
find a bride by my side
Duke did the honors
they looked so happy

I like that
Just like Duke
I like that
Standing up
up for them
in the center
Fantasies of a preacher's wife
I like that
Just like Duke
I like that
Standing up
up for them
in the center
I like that
Fantasies of a preacher's wife
I like that
Standing up
up for them
in the center
Just like Duke
I like that
Fantasies of a preacher's wife
