I'd say, I'm a lover, not a fighter I never stare nobody down
|
'Til one night my girl I could not find she never made it back from town
|
I found my Shannon crying in the woods 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 bo 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
|
|
¡¦..Instrumental Break¡¦¡¦¡¦
|
|
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
|
