Jason Isbell - 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
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 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 every time 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 honored
All of that security
What about a shotgun wedding? What about me?

What about a shotgun wedding? What about me?
