She was the pride of her high school
A homecoming queen
Prettiest girl that you've ever seen
She fell in love in a truck on Saturday night
Now her clothes they don't fit quite right
Well, it's a 12 gauge at twelve o'clock
A shotgun wedding just down the block
At the JP's office
And then to the honeymoon
Well just hop in the backseat
To save money on the room
Well the boy didn't know
If she was doin' him right
How could that kid be his
After just one lucky night
She was awfully pretty
And her daddy had a gun
Dad was gettin' drunk
And dyin' ain't much fun
Well, it's a 12 gauge at twelve o'clock
A shotgun wedding just down the block
At the JP's office
And then to the honeymoon
Well just hop in the backseat
To save money on the room
Well, the boy had a thought,
And he put his best get-up on
They went down to Planned Parenthood and
Got her daddy on the phone
They left cheek to cheek
And arm in arm
They were in luck it was just a
False alarm
It’s no more a 12 gauge at twelve o'clock
Just a unloaded shotgun and a case of shattered Bud
Well there skip the wedding and go strait to the honeymoon
Then hop in the backseat
To save money on the room
