Shotgun Wedding Lyrics

Meet, conceive and marry
True love's a shotgun wedding
There's no time to fool around
Cause you have no choices now.

Flowers in the backyard
With the family gathered round
True love's a shotgun wedding
And you can't plan it out.

Perhaps if it was passion
And not just circumstances
That you'd put a little of love
Into that question you are asking.

She lays a kiss upon your cheek
Her lips so full and round
True love's a shotgun wedding
Momma said don't fool around.

I know it seems awkward
But that ain't gonna stop her
This down-payment is a promise That your love is gonna prosper.

The world just won't end
When you roll into town
True love's a shotgun wedding
With the layman writing down.

It's the right thing boy
Put that ring around her finger
And don't you stop to worry
That the feeling won't linger.

Light yourself a cigarette
While writing invitations
She knows its matrimony
What with child expectations.

You lay a hand upon her belly
That's so full and round
True love's a shotgun wedding
Momma said don't you fool around.

True love's a shotgun wedding
And you can't plan it out.
