Patterson Hood - 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 But every time I see you you look bigger Than you did the day before 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 honored All of that security How about a shotgun wedding? What about me? I guess I'm a loner Some call me a freak I 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 everytime time I hear your voice or footsteps I get frozen in one 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 honored All of that security What about a shotgun wedding? What about me? What about a shotgun wedding? What about me?
