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 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 can 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 can I begin to guess, i 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's a pentacostal Goes to church most every day Ann Marie and her baby Mikey A new reason to live and pray How can 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
