This song is retelling the story of Buttercup and Westley from "The Princess Bride" set in the 1950s in America. I layered in some more prominent lines from the movie throughout the song, especially in the chorus.

lyrics

In the midwest, there was a girl named buttercup
And there's a rancher, a boy she's been crushing on
Every time she asks him, to do anything
He responds, As You Wish

But he had no money, so he joined the army
But then vietnam broke out, and he was MIA

Death can't stop true love, it only delays it a while
Hear this now, I will always come for you
Death can't stop true love, it only delays it for a while
As you wish, I promise I will marry you

Thought to be dead, Westley future bride
Fell into a relationship, with an abusive guy

Then out of nowhere, outside a bar one night
Buttercup was attacked by 3 men, no help in sight
A man in black came to her aid, and drove those men away
Could it be, is it possible, my Westley saved the day

Buttercup's new man, wasn't happy about it
But Wesley saved her from him too

Death can't stop true love, it only delays it a while
Hear this now, I will always come for you
Death can't stop true love, it only delays it for a while
As you wish, I promise I will marry you

Death can't stop true love, it only delays it for a while
As you wish, I promise I will marry you
