  • There’s a long line of cars
    The parking lot’s full of people already cryin'
    It’s the hottest day in seven years
    And I ain’t the only one here dyin'
    Well, I wish I had a cigarette or one more shot of jack
    But you can’t go back
    When the church bell rings
    Baby, let’s do this thing

    My first grade teacher never liked me
    Who sent her an invitation
    I got second cousins rollin' in like momma’s got supper waitin'
    And the Sherriff’s on front row
    Yeah just to see me settlin' down
    Wait til he finds out you’re crazy as me
    Baby, let’s do this thing

    Cause I’m dressed, you’re stressed
    There’s a church full of guests
    And who turned on the heat
    My collar’s kinda tight
    Your face is kinda white
    Girl, don’t you pass out on me
    Cause if we can make it through just two I do’s
    We’ll be off on a life-long dream
    I got the limo and the preacher
    And your little baby sister’s got the pillow and the wedding rings
    Let’s do this thing
    Let’s do this thing

    I got the snorkel and the flip flops
    Take you to the hot spot
    Didn’t pack a stitch of clothes
    I’ll be glad when this thing’s over
    Like some Ringling Brothers show
    And I know I wasn’t suppose to see you
    ‘fore I saw you walking down the aisle
    And it’s gonna sound wild
    But don’t dress up for me
    Baby, let’s do this thing

    Cause I’m stressed, you’re dressed
    There’s a church full of guests
    And who turned on the heat
    My collar’s kinda tight
    Your face is kinda white
    Girl, don’t you pass out on me
    Cause if we can make it through just two I do’s
    We’ll be off on a life-long dream
    I got the limo and the preacher
    And your little baby sister’s got the pillow and the wedding rings
    Let’s do this thing
    Let’s do this thing

    Yeah your mamma won’t cry forever
    She’ll think it’s funny some day
    She gave you away in a veil and jeans
    Baby, let’s do this thing
    Let’s do this thing
    Let’s do this thing Writer/s: KIX BROOKS, LESLIE SATCHER
