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 father's got a gun
And there ain't no place to run
Shotgun wedding and oh listen to me

Well I got to find a job
You, me, baby makes three
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, wedding oh yeah
'Cause your father's got a 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

But I tried to run from town
But her mother tracked me down
She said before I meet my maker
Some mans 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.....yeah yeah
I could of run away oh 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
Breaking my heart
