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 chapel 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 chapel 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 chapel 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
