Shotgun Wedding

Meet, conceive and marry True love's a shotgun wedding There's no time to fool around Because you have no choices now Flowers in the backyard With the family gathered round True love's a shotgun wedding You can't plan it out Perhaps if it was passion And not just circumstances That you put a little love Into that question that you're asking She lays a kiss upon your cheek Her lips so full and round True love's a shotgun wedding Mama 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 won't end When you throw in the towel True love's a shotgun wedding With the layman writing vows 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 this matrimony Won't meet child expectations You lay a hand upon her belly So full and round True love's a shotgun wedding Mama said "don't fool around" True love's a shotgun wedding And you can't plan it out
