See, 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
Wicked man hold her down
I stuck him deep

I buried him good
Not deep enough to fool the hounds


We took shelter in a chappel
Underneath a 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
My bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny

My bounty back home

The train stopped in Tijuana

We built a shack beneath the Sun
I made my Shannon margaritas
We watched our children laugh and run

Run, run

Sometimes I miss my daddy

Sometimes I miss my mom
But I think they would be real proud of me
To know the man that I've become


We took shelter in a chappel
Underneath a 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
My bounty back home

No I ain't worth a penny
My bounty back home


Train, train roll on
Train, train roll on
Train, train roll on

Shannon why did you run wit me
She say
What was I supposed to do boy

Just watch you leave
You would have broken my heart
You would be a hole in my dreams

You're the boy that all I need
You're the boy and others I will never need


We took shelter in a chappel
Underneath a 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
My bounty back home
No I ain't worth a penny

My bounty back home
