Wedding Dress

Ann Marie lives in Kansas City
She's a Christian, she loves living there
She said, "I'm flying back to Brooklyn"
Rolls her eyes and fixes her hair

Cleans houses with her mom for work
Goes to school and dreams of dirt
Strives and tries to live life plain
But a loss of love sure can make you mean

How could I begin to guess
The life and times of a wedding dress?
Bright and shiny like the sun
Then sealed away like a secret shotgun
Bright and shiny like the sun
Then sealed away like a secret shotgun

Jerry Gobel is an auto mechanic
Born and raised just outside the seam
Bright eyes in a jungle city
He never could really love Ann Marie

How could I begin to guess, he said
The life and times of a wedding dress?
Bright and shiny like the sun
Then sealed away like a secret shotgun
Bright and shiny like the sun
Then sealed away like a secret shotgun
Shotgun

Grandma is a Pentecostal
Goes to church most every day
Ann Marie and her baby Mikey
A new reason to live and pray

How could I begin to guess
The life and times of a wedding dress?
Bright and shiny like the sun
Then sealed away like a secret shotgun
Bright and shiny like the sun
Then sealed away like a secret shotgun
Shotgun
