American Wedding

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 purplish blue
Daydreams of the romance
Daydreams of you

My pretty woman in a ball-gown
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 a fancy, fancy cursive
Then turned her term papers in

A thesis on Islamic virgin brides
And arranged marriage
Hijabs and polygamist husbands
Those poor unamerican 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 to 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, girl if you stay
You'll probably leave later anyway
It's love made in the U.S.A.

Don't let 'em front you to saying you can't move
Without 'em, fuck 'em, I tell 'em this ain't new
We been some hustlers since it began, dude
Ain't gon' be tripping over some bitch ass, dude

They so vain I tell 'em this ain't you
You keep it sensitive but this shit ain't true
These niggas can't do nothing that I can't do
That she can't, that he can't do
That you can't do, that we can't do

Man, I had a dream and then that shit became true
And nigga if I did it I think you can too
These niggas can't do nothing that I can't do
That she can't do, that he can't do
That you can't do, that we can't do

Man, I had a dream and then that shit became true
These niggas can't do nothing that I can't do
That she can't do, that he can't do
That you can't do
