Shannon
VERSE
Shannon was the preacher's only daughte
Living in a small town on the edge of nowher
Went to high school with her girlfriend
She was different but she always tried to fit i
A Sunday sermon in a church filled with solemn face
Late at night daddy liked to touch her secret place
Momma closed her eyes denying everything she'd see
Shannon ran away from home when she was sixtee
CHORUS
Shannon, where are you now
You've got to find your way through someho
Close your eyes, 'cause it won't be lon
When a new day will daw
VERSE
A lonely girl collecting pieces of her broken lif
She meets Jimmy and he asks her if she'll be his wif
Shannon knows their relationship can never las
But she is desperately trying to forget her pas
Soon she's left alone to raise her growing childre
Jim gets drunk each night then staggers home and beats the
Shannon fears that their gonna have to run awa
She thinks he'll kill her if she stays with him another da
REPEAT CHORU
GUITAR SOL
REPEAT CHORUS
