Old Fashioned Shotgun Wedding
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
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

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

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
