[Verse]
they met online
in these modern times
their parents are old school
they crossed the line
one too many times
now her stomach is starting to show
embarrassed of gossip and dreading
dad told the young man there's going to be a wedding

[Pre-Chorus]
no dodging your responsibilities
you're going to wed my daughter quickly
don't try to hide, don't try to run
if I have to, I'll get my shotgun
mark my words son
you're going to be her husband

[Chorus]
don't you skip town, don't you hide
you made your bed, now time to bide
you already played husband and wife
now it's time to make her your bride
I'll get the preacher here tomorrow
at 2 o'clock the wedding will follow
you best be here boy if you know what's good for you
don't show up and you'll see what i do

[Post-Chorus]
I'll chase you down
you're going to frown
it's not going to be any fun
don't try to hide, don't try to run
I'll hunt you with my shotgun,
boy, I'll hunt you with my shotgun.

[Verse 2]
wedding time, no boy in sight
oh jeez, here comes the chase
hope that boy took a flight
or he's going to end up in a case
dad's on him like a opossum track
grabbed him by the ear and dragging him back
dad throws him on the ground before the preacher
tells him listen up boy, you're turn to answer

[Chorus]
today we're having a shotgun wedding
this young man thought he'd be skipping
not while I'm alive says her dad
mom's standing by her daughter smiling
dad's got his shotgun aimed at the boy
don't look at me son this ain't no toy
better make an honest woman out of her
or else boy, i swear I'll shoot you right here

[Outro]
shotgun weddings are now kinda rare
most believe let the boy run if he don't care
probably going to be a bad relationship
but then again, dad's got a shotgun on his lap
you know i think this marriage might just work
although the boy is quite a jerk
shotgun in hand, dad will set him right
when he upsets his daughter in a fight
even if it's at night and really late
dad is going to set him straight
dad will set him straight.

[Post-Chorus]
We had a shotgun wedding
boy and girl are scared to death
both are full of fear and dreading
they stare into each other's eyes and take a deep breath
nothing to do now, what's done is done
thanks to dad and his shotgun
we had a shotgun wedding
a shotgun wedding.............

[End]
