Sammy and Katie went a little too far

In a Johnson grass out behind the barn

Now he ain't got the money for gas

Or a ticket out West



There's gonna a finger on the trigger when her daddy finds out

His baby ain't been eating but she's putting 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

It's hard to say, but either way

It's a day this whole 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

Unc' Sammy at the altar, sweating in his camouflage vest



Preacher man looking like he just saw a ghost

Daddy's sawed off sticking out from 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

It's hard to say, but either way

It's a day this whole town won't forget

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest



Preacher says bow your head and thank the Lord

Oh Sammy sees a break and bolts through the door

Looks like that vest will be put to the test



Yeah buckshot buzzing all around his head

It's a wonder that boy ain't never been dead

I guess he just ain't ready yet



Look at him run

He ain't gonna stay

Won't say I do

'Cause he know there ain't no way

It's the day this whole town won't forget

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest



Aw, look at him run

He done passed up the buckshot

He's gone daddy

Took the stop sign with him
