letra de shotgun wedding - weddings parties anything

[verse 1]
fifteen monaros and an old falcon ute
the odd motorcycle
are left standing in the shadow of the old church
ah, the cans and the dead weeds
patches of golden gravel
the church’s shadow is cool, dusty
tense with people who dreaded this
two families extended
and even related in odd ways
one young man he looks more scrubbed, definitely more drunk
he’s shuffling a bit, he’s kicked around
unresponding

[verse 2]
all of these here watching the approach
of a car in the distance
across the flat late summer plain
it’s a small cloud of brown dust
here she comes, they hustle him inside
here she comes, the organist belts that hammond
here she comes, they hustle him inside
jack in a flushed panic

[chorus]
shotgun wedding
shotgun town

[verse 3]
her old man walks her down the aisle, he’s big
bursting his suit coat
as she walks beside him trembling, the white bride
too scared to run
she’ll probably faint
she’ll probably faint by the look of her
and he goes for the back door, but it’s too late
there’s her dad’s great paw on his shoulder
“stand still” growled in his ear
and he can’t remember speaking or signing
just the relief of gettin’ outside
and into the ute, and away with her
followed at a safe distance
and it’s too much pressure
too much pressure
reception’s coming later
and it’s too much pressure

[chorus]
shotgun wedding
shotgun town

[verse 4]
for these two, the lines are drawn
certain things have been decided
in a time-honoured fashion
roles to be played
they can join certain of their friends
in similar situations
buy a home, work, breed
buy a home, work, breed
well it’s long odds, for a short dream
long odds for a short dream
long odds for a short dream
oh, long on odds for a short dream

[chorus]
shotgun wedding
shotgun town
shotgun wedding
shotgun town

[outro]
well now my town
ah, you know it’s a shotgun town
