Lyrics

Gretna Green

[Verse 1]

Oh, Gretna Green

You're the prettiest wreck I've ever seen

You look stunning in that gown

Now paint away your frown

Oh, Gretna Green

Got that look in your eyes, you fishy queen

Let the feathers do the talking

Let's show 'em all

Miss Gretna Green

She'll never let the fire die

[Chorus]

Don't try living without it

You're a river running wild

'Cause you can't do without it

You're a river running wild

All these eyes on us tonight

Feels so good it can't be right

I'm telling you over and over again

Oh, Gretna Green

[Verse 2]

Oh, my James Dеan

You're the luckiest fool I'vе ever seen

You better show your all

Or not expect a call back

Oh, my James Dean

You don't look a day over seventeen

Let your art do the talking

You better show 'em all

Oh, my James Dean

Never let the fire die

[Chorus]

Don't try living without it

You're a river running wild

'Cause you can't do without it

You're a river running wild

All these eyes on us tonight

Feels so good it can't be right

I'm telling you over and over again

[Bridge]

Oh, Gretna Green

Oh, Gretna Green

Oh, Gretna Green

Never let the fire die

Don't try living without it

Can't do without it

[Chorus]

All these eyes on us tonight

Feels so good it can't be right

I'm telling you over and over again

Oh, Gretna Green

Don't try living without it

You're a river running wild

Don't try living without it

You're a river running wild

All these eyes on us tonight

Feels so good it can't be right

I'm telling you over and over again

Don't try living without it

You're a river running wild

Oh, Gretna Green

Don't try living without it

You're a river running wild

Gretna Green

All these eyes on us tonight

Feels so good it can't be right

I'm telling you over and over again

Oh, Gretna Green

[Outro]

Oh, Gretna Green

You're the prettiest wreck I've ever seen
