Their folks just laughed and called them kids

Give us your blessing say you’ll be there on our wedding day
They wouldn’t have laughed at Mary
If they could have seen through the door
But Jimmy was waiting in the car
While Mary begged once more

Well as they drove off they were crying
And nobody knows for sure
That, that’s why they didn’t see the sign
That read detour

And as their folks knelt beside them in the rain
They couldn’t help but hear
The last words that Mary and Jimmy had said

Give us your blessing say you’ll be there on our wedding day
