This repeats through the intro and start of the verse, until:
Dude says, 'you Levi?'
I'm like 'Yes, that's me sir'
Well you just knocked up the VP nominee's daughter
repeat structure
Pre chorus:
I say 'mother in law? no
We ain't getting married'
They say 'soon you will boy
She just announced it
I get on my dirt bike
And ride to my girl's home
Gonna lay down the law
Tell her what's going on
/// x2
So we talk and it turns out we don't believe in abortion
And sex outside marriage is against our religion
And when I try to tell them I'm 18 years old,
They say "Levi it's too late, you've got to do as you're told"

to give it some variation, but you can't easily fit full chords to these bits.)
