People were standing
All around
At a shot gun wedding
Here in this town
And I’m a victim, oh yeah
Of a shotgun wedding
’cause your fathers got the gun
And there ain’t no place to run
Shotgun wedding
And oh listen to me
Well I got
To find a job
For you, me
Baby makes three
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun wedding
Oh yeah
’cause your fathers got the gun
And there ain’t no place to run
Shotgun wedding
And all I could hear that day was
Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife
My, my, my, my shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun wedding
I looked around, I looked around
And all I could see was a shotgun wedding
Listen to me
But I tried to run from town
But her mother tracked me down
She said, “Before I meet my maker
Some man’s gonna make an honest woman of my daughter
So it might as well be you”
Oh, daddy may be poor
But he owns a forty-forty
Shotgun wedding
And oh, I’m walking up the aisle right now
Here comes the bride singing
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
I could of run away, no no
I could be living high
Nobody could stop me now
Oh, shotgun
Shotgun
Just give me one more chance
Let me hear that bass boys
That bass boys
Breaking my heart
Breaking my heart
