Shotgun Wedding Lyrics
Ten years out of high school
Still no idea what to do
You took him home from a nightclub He took a nightclub to you
Now I watch from the window
Too guilty to scream
My feet are like steel
I might be in a dream
Every time I see you, you look bigger Than you did the day before
And even though I know it's
Not my fault
I wish it was
I can only ride the elevator
All night long from floor to floor
And I can only stand outside your Window in the dust
So how about a shotgun wedding? What about your dignity?
What about a different setting?
What about me?
All your daddy's wishes honoured
All of that security
How about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
I guess I'm a loner
Some call me a freak
Saw you in the hallway
Too guilty to speak
Now I sleep in the daytime and
I sleep on the floor
I dial your number and
I knock on your door
But every time I hear your voice or Footsteps I get frozen in my place
And I have to struggle for the courage Just to run
I can see the eyes of all the ones that Left you glowing in your face
And I just want to help you with this life That you've begun
So how about a shotgun wedding? What about your dignity?
What about a different setting?
What about me?
All your daddy's wishes honoured
All of that security
What about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
What about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
Still no idea what to do
You took him home from a nightclub He took a nightclub to you
Now I watch from the window
Too guilty to scream
My feet are like steel
I might be in a dream
And even though I know it's
Not my fault
I wish it was
I can only ride the elevator
All night long from floor to floor
And I can only stand outside your Window in the dust
What about a different setting?
What about me?
All your daddy's wishes honoured
All of that security
How about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
Some call me a freak
Saw you in the hallway
Too guilty to speak
Now I sleep in the daytime and
I sleep on the floor
I dial your number and
I knock on your door
And I have to struggle for the courage Just to run
I can see the eyes of all the ones that Left you glowing in your face
And I just want to help you with this life That you've begun
What about a different setting?
What about me?
All your daddy's wishes honoured
All of that security
What about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?
What about a shotgun wedding?
What about me?

We were listening to an old show last night (2004 maybe) in which Jason talked about the meaning of this song. He wrote this song about a "friend" he had in college who really dug pregnant chicks (just not the ones he got pregnant). He did not like the guy very much....
