I took a walk with the palm trees
|
As the daylight fell
|
Sangria in a canteen
|
Talking to myself
|
This tattoo on my left hand
|
Is turning purple-ish blue
|
Daydreams of the romance
|
Daydreams of you
|
My pretty woman in a ballgown
|
I'm Richard Gere in a tux
|
Getting married in a courthouse
|
Writing vows in a rush
|
Making out before the judge
|
With my teenage wife
|
Got a wedding band done
|
That I just might die with
|
It's an American wedding
|
They don't mean too much
|
But we were so in love
|
We had an American wedding
|
Now what's mine is yours
|
That's American law
|
M-R-S dot Kennedy
|
She signed her name in pen
|
In the fancy, fancy cursive
|
Then turned her term papers in
|
A thesis on Islamic
|
Virgin brides and arranged marriage
|
Hijabs and polygamist husbands
|
Those poor un-American girls
|
After school she ran to me
|
Jumped in my 5.0, This is the
|
Home of the brave,
|
Land of the free
|
But your parents still didn't know
|
She said,
|
"I've had a hell of a summer
|
So,
|
Baby, don't take this hard
|
But maybe we should get
|
An annulment
|
Before this goes way too far"
|
It's just an American wedding
|
They don't mean too much
|
They don't last enough
|
We had an American wedding
|
Now what's mine is yours
|
American divorce
|
Well, you can have my Mustang
|
That's all I've got in my name
|
But Jesus Christ,
|
Don't break my heart
|
This wedding ring
|
Won't ever wipe off
|
But if you stay
|
Oh, if you stay
|
You'll probably leave later,
|
Anyway It's love made in the USA
