I took a walk in 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


We had an american wedding
They don't mean too much

But we were so in love
Oh it's an american wedding
Now what's mine is yours

That's american law

Mrs 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

afterschool 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 we 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 an american wedding

They don't mean too much
But we were so in love
Oh it's an american wedding

Now what's mine is yours
American divorce


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
if you stay

you'll probably leave later anyway
it's love made in the U.S.A


It's an american wedding yeah
They don't mean too much
But we were so in love

We had an american wedding
Now what's mine is yours
American divorce
