[Intro]
C, F, C
[Verse 1]
There's a CWedding in the chapel,
And the Fbride is oh so happy,
And DCaddy's got a shotgun in his Fhand,
The Cgroom is sweatin' bullets,
As the Fpriest steps to the pulpit,
He's aCbout to make this Fboy into a Cman.
[Chorus]
Sweet CJesus in the Garden,
Can you Fgrant this boy a pardon,
For its Ctrue he really don't know what he's Fdone,
Better Clock the church door tight,
'Cause at the Fslightest crack of light,
That Cboy is gonna Fhit the ground and Crun,
He's gonna Frun he's gonna Cfly,
(C)
He's out the door and down the street,
And Dmhe won't say GoodFbye,
the CDiapers and the diatribes,
Of her FDaddy on the Crum,
That boy is gonna Fhit the ground and Crun.
[Verse 2]
Was it the rubbing or the tugging,
Put a bun in Nancy's oven,
She's praying she's not starting to show,
But the wedding's set for April,
and she's known since November,
She ain't got hells chance of a ball of snow.
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
What in the Lords name was he thinking,
You can't blame this all on drinking,
You can count the family teeth upon one hand,
By Midnight he was muddled,
And her gene pool is a puddle,
That boy might be the Daddy of his old man.
[Chorus]
That boy is gonna hit the ground and run,
That boy is gonna hit the ground and run.
