Shotgun Marriage

in sickness and in health
in poverty and wealth
so much in common
so much to lose
if two wrongs make a right
let's ruin it from scratch
let's finish what we started
seal it with an iron hand

in sickness and in health
no turning back

gotta take your hand tonight
take you down before the sunrise
a bit of a lifetime, the bait we're biting?
shotgun marriage

put your dreams to rest
for the greater good of all
first thing's first
and you come last this time
when love and lies
walk hand in hand
a shot in the dark
golden ball and chain

in poverty and wealth
no turning back

gotta take your hand tonight
take you down before the sunrise
a bit of a lifetime, the bait we're biting?
shotgun marriage

when things go south
and we run outta words
when you can't hide your shame
remember who's to blame

in sickness and in health
no turning back

gotta take your hand tonight
take you down before the sunrise
a bit of a lifetime, the bait we're biting?
