Shotgun Wedding

(album: Here's To You - 2018)

Sammy and Katie went a little too far
In a Johnson grass out behind the barn
Now he ain't got the money for gas
Or a ticket out west

There's gonna a finger on the trigger when her daddy finds out
His baby ain't been eating but she's putting on pounds
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Is he gonna run
Is he gonna stay
Will he say I do, or I don't
It's hard to say, but either way
It's a day this whole town won't forget
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

And Betty on the organ, here comes the bride
With her half hammered daddy and his evil eye
Old Sammy at the altar, sweating in his camouflage vest

Preacher man looking like he just saw a ghost
Daddy's sawed off sticking out from under his coat
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Is he gonna run
Is he gonna stay
Will he say I do, or I don't
It's hard to say, but either way
It's a day this whole town won't forget
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Preacher says bow your head and thank the lord
Oh Sammy sees a break and bolts through the door
Looks like that vest will be put to the test

Yeah buckshot buzzing all around his head
It's a wonder that boy ain't never been dead
I guess he just ain't ready yet

Look at him run
He ain't gonna stay
Won't say I do
'Cause he know there ain't no way
It's the day this whole town won't forget
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Aw, look at him run
He done passed up the buckshot
He's gone Daddy
Took the stop sign with him
