Lyrics
I'd say, I'm a lover, not a fighter
I never stare nobody down
Till 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, he 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 boxcar 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 boxcar 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, ha!
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 boxcar 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, ha!
