I never stare nobody down
'Til one night my girl
I could not find her
She never made it back from town
I found my Shannon crying in the woods
A wicked man held her down
So I stuck him deep and I buried him good
Not deep enough to fool the hounds
We took shelter in a chapel
'Neath the blood moon sky
I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico
Where I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home
That train stopped in Tijuana
We built a shack beneath the sun
I make my Shannon margaritas
We watch our children laugh and run, run, run
Sometimes I miss my daddy
Sometimes I miss my mom
But I think they'd be real proud of me
To know the man that I've become
We took shelter in a chapel
'Neath the blood moon sky
I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico
Where I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home
Train, train roll on
Train, train roll on
Train, train roll on, roll on
Shannon, why'd you run with me?
She said,
What was I supposed to do boy?
Just watch you leave?
You'd have broken my heart
You'd have haunted my dreams
Your love, boy, is all I need
Your love, boy, is all I'll ever need
We took shelter in a chapel
'Neath the blood moon sky
I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife
We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico
Where we ain't worth a penny of our bounty back home
No we ain't worth a penny of our bounty back home
I'd say, I'm a lover, not a fighter I never stare nobody down 'Til one night my girl I could not find her She never made it back from town I found my Shannon crying in the woods A wicked man held her down So I stuck him deep and I buried him good Not deep enough to fool the hounds We took shelter in a chapel 'Neath the blood moon sky I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico Where I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home No I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home That train stopped in Tijuana We built a shack beneath the sun I make my Shannon margaritas We watch our children laugh and run, run, run Sometimes I miss my daddy Sometimes I miss my mom But I think they'd be real proud of me To know the man that I've become We took shelter in a chapel 'Neath the blood moon sky I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico Where I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home No I ain't worth a penny of my bounty back home Train, train roll on Train, train roll on Train, train roll on, roll on Shannon, why'd you run with me? She said, What was I supposed to do boy? Just watch you leave? You'd have broken my heart You'd have haunted my dreams Your love, boy, is all I need Your love, boy, is all I'll ever need We took shelter in a chapel 'Neath the blood moon sky I bought a gun and made Shannon my wife We jumped in a box-car to old Mexico Where we ain't worth a penny of our bounty back home No we ain't worth a penny of our bounty back home Explain Request ×
