Shannon Lyrics - Singles - B.f. Egypt

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
