Intro:
I'd say I'm a lover not a fighter, I'd 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 cryin in the woods,
a wicked man he held her down
I stuck him deep and I buried him good,
not deep enough to fool the hounds
Chorus:
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky,
I bought a gun an made Shannon my wife
We jumped in a box car to old mexico......
Where I aint worth a penny on my bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny on my bounty back home.
Verse:
That train stopped in Tijuana, we built a shack beneath the sun
I make my Shannon margaritas, we watch our childre laugh and run
..run..run
Sometimes I miss my daddy, sometimes I miss my mom
I think they'd be real proud of me, to know the man
that I've become
Chorus:
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky,
I bought a gun an made Shannon my wife
We jumped in a box car to old mexico......
Where I aint worth a penny on my bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny on my bounty back home.
Bridge:
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 a broken my heart, you'd a haunted my dreams
Your love boy is all I need, your love boys all I'll ever need
Chorus:
We took shelter in a chapel neath the blood moon sky,
I bought a gun an made Shannon my wife
We jumped in a box car to old mexico......
Where I aint worth a penny on my bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny on my bounty back home
