Shotgun Wedding - Lyrics - Jason Isbell

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. 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. Every 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... How about a shotgun wedding? What about me? How about a shotgun wedding? What about me?
