We aint talked in a couple years The last time I saw him we were throwing back beer A couple of bachelors in a town too small For our reputations to let us stay long I could tell that boy was never gonna change Hed sowed his oats by now still he carried his ways There was no point telling him to settle it down If it was gonna happened itd have happened by now Until he called me late one night Said, Man, are ya sitting down Im gonna be daddy real soon And no Im aint messing around Are ya coming to my shotgun wedding down in Jackson Her mommas so happy but her daddy aint laughing Yeah, I m trying to make it right the only way I know We got family coming in from a hundred different ways I gotta face em straight on and I know what theyre gonna say Man, I need you here real bad, can you make it down? Yeah, Im headed to a shotgun wedding way back in our hometown I thought of all those times hed be up all night Chasing those skirts till the morning light There was one girl who set a wedding date But she went crazy or at least hed say So I guess his time has come To buckle down and be a man And Ill try hard not to laugh At the altar if I can Cause Im going to a shotgun wedding down in Jackson Her mommas so happy but her daddy aint laughing Yeah, hes trying to make it right the only way he knows Hes got family coming in from a hundred different ways Hes gotta face em straight on and I know what theyre gonna say So I need to help the boy out and drive on down Yeah, Im headed to a shotgun wedding way back in my hometown Well all our ex girlfriends were sitting in the pews With a sigh of relief when he said I do We wished them well and we all drove on out to the lake And there might be another shotgun wedding If I stay out too late
