[Intro]

B D E B

[Verse]

Sammy and Katie went a little too far

In a Johnson grass out behind the barn

Now he ain't got the money for gas

Or a ticket out west

There's gonna be a finger on the trigger when her daddy finds out

His baby ain't been eating but she's putting on pounds

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Chorus]

Is he gonna run

Is he gonna stay

Will he say I do, or I don't

It's hard to say, but either way

D E

It's a day this whole town won't forget

B D E B

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Verse]

And Betty on the organ, here comes the bride

With her half hammered daddy and his evil eye

Old Sammy at the altar, sweating in his camouflage vest

Preacher man looking like he just saw a ghost

Daddy's sawed off sticking out from under his coat

E B

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Chorus]

Is he gonna run

Is he gonna stay

Will he say I do, or I don't

It's hard to say, but either way

It's a day this whole town won't forget

B D E G A B

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

[Verse]

Preacher says bow your head and thank the lord

Oh Sammy sees a break and bolts through the door

E B

Looks like that vest will be put to the test

Yeah buckshot buzzing all around his head

It's a wonder that boy ain't never been dead

I guess he just ain't ready yet

[Chorus]

Look at him run

He ain't gonna stay

Won't say I do

'Cause he knows there ain't no way

It's a day this whole town won't forget

Shotgun wedding and a boy in a bulletproof vest

Ending

Aw, look at him run, ha ha ha

He done passed up the buckshot

He's gone, daddy
