Shotgun Wedding Songtext
von Jackson Delaney

Sammy and Katie went a little too far
In the Johnson grass out behind the bar
Now he ain′t got money for gas or a ticket out west
Gonna be a finger on the trigger when her daddy finds out
His baby ain't been eatin′ but she's puttin' 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 hardly say?
Either way, it′s a day this old town won't forget
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest


Aunt Betty on the organ, here comes the bride
With her half-hammered daddy and his evil eye
On Sammy at the altar sweatin′ in his camouflage vest
Preacher man lookin' like he just saw a ghost
Daddy′s sawed-off stickin' out 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 hardly say?
Either way, it's a day this old town won't forget
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Preacher says, "Close your eyes, let′s thank the Lord"
Ol′ Sammy sees the brick and bolts through the door
This ain't the first time that vest′s been put to the test
Buckshot buzzin' all around his head
It′s a wonder that boy ain't a-never been dead
Guess he just ain′t ready yet

Look at him run
He ain't gonna stay
He ain't gonna say I do ′cause he don′t and there ain't no way
Either way, it′s a day this old town won't forget
Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest


Just look at him run
