Lyrics

Norton bought a brand new pickup truck,
With all of the money he saved.
He drove it down Rosewood avenue,
On Emma?s wedding day

Up went the flowers
Down came the rice
Doesn?t the church look nice?

Out comes the bride
Groom by her side
He watched it all from the rear view mirror


Norton drove that brand new pickup truck
All over town that day
Thinkin? bout where he could have gone
On Emma?s wedding day

Up in the hills
Down by the creek
Out in the barn where they?d meet

That afternoon
in Murphy?s saloon
wasn?t a place to escape her face


So Norton drove down Rosewood Avenue
On the 21st day of May
He parked outside of Jefferson Baptist Church
On Emma?s Wedding Day

Out came the folks,
Down the front walk,
Aunt Betty sure likes to talk

A breeze in the air
lifts the veil from her hair
He watched it all through the rear view mirror

Then Norton turned down Rosewood avenue
On his way out of town that day
She stood on the steps of that little white church

And saw him drive away,
She saw him drive away,
She watched him drive away.
