B.f. Egypt - Shannon lyrics

rate me

VERSE 1

Shannon was the preacher's only daughter

Living in a small town on the edge of nowhere

Went to high school with her girlfriends

She was different but she always tried to fit in

A Sunday sermon in a church filled with solemn faces

Late at night daddy liked to touch her secret places

Momma closed her eyes denying everything she'd seen

Shannon ran away from home when she was sixteen

CHORUS:

Shannon, where are you now?

You've got to find your way through somehow

Close your eyes, 'cause it won't be long

When a new day will dawn

VERSE 2

A lonely girl collecting pieces of her broken life

She meets Jimmy and he asks her if she'll be his wife

Shannon knows their relationship can never last

But she is desperately trying to forget her past

Soon she's left alone to raise her growing children

Jim gets drunk each night then staggers home and beats them

Shannon fears that their gonna have to run away

She thinks he'll kill her if she stays with him another day

REPEAT CHORUS

GUITAR SOLO

REPEAT CHORUS
