"Old Fashioned Shotgun Wedding" lyrics

One, two
One, two, three, four

Well, I've always dreamed of driving out to Reno
With her daddy in the backseat with a gun
That's the kind of dream that some folks call a nightmare
That's the kind of midnight ride that ain't for fun

But somehow it turned out completely different
The surprise was a pleasure through and through
Now Reno's nowhere near driving distance
So this old French speaking town will have to do

For this old fashioned shotgun wedding
I've heard it's a crying shame
Do you say "I do", well, I suppose
It was an old fashioned shotgun wedding
Give the child a name
He'll be happy to be having one o' those

Well, we lived 10 years without that piece of paper
In making big old moves we're kind of slow
And that's 10 years of sharing the same bathroom
And if that ain't being married I don't know

But we went ahead and had the ceremony
Now our lives are still the same, except of course
There's one new possibility that's open
I've always dreamed of having a divorce

It was an old fashioned shotgun wedding
I've heard it's a crying shame
Do you say "I do", well, I suppose
It was an old fashioned shotgun wedding
Give the child a name
He'll be happy to be having one o' those

It was an old fashioned shotgun wedding
I've heard it's a crying shame
Do you say "I do", well, I suppose
It was an old fashioned shotgun wedding
Give the child a name
He'll be happy to be having one o' those
