Buddy Brown - Shotgun Wedding lyrics

rate me

We ain't talked in a couple years

The last time I saw him we were throwin' back beers

A couple of bachelors in a town to small

For our reputations to let us stay long

I could tell that boy was never gonna change

He'd sowed his oats by now still he carried his ways

There was no point telling him to settle it down

If it was gonna happened it'd have happened by now

Til he called me late one night

Said man, are ya sittin' down

I'm gonna be daddy real soon

And no I'm ain't messing around

Are ya coming to my shotgun wedding down in Jackson

Her momma's so happy but her daddy ain't laughing

Yeah I 'm trying to make it right the only way I know

We got family coming in from a hundred different ways

I gotta face em straight on and I know what they're gonna say

Man I need you here real bad can you make it down

Yeah I'm headed to a shotgun wedding way back in my hometown

I thought of all those times he'd be up all night

Chasing those skirts till the morning light

there was a girl who set a wedding date

But she went crazy or at least he'd say

So I guess his time has come

To buckle down and be a man

And I'll try hard not to laugh

at the alter if I can

Cause I'm going to a shotgun wedding down in Jackson

Her momma's so happy but her daddy ain't laughing

Yeah he's trying to make it right the only way he knows

He's got family coming in from a hundred different ways

He's gotta face em straight on and I know what they're gonna say

So I need to help the boy out and drive on down

Yeah I going to a shotgun wedding way back in my hometown

Well all our ex girlfriends were sitting in the pews

With a sigh of relief when he said I do

We wished em' well

and we all drove on out to the lake

And there might be another shotgun wedding

If I still out too late

<br />
