Lyrics
Shannon, dear, I hope you got my letters
That I’m writing you in care of your Mom
Let me guess: your Dad still hates me
Can it be two years since I been gone?
I’ve had the time to do a lot a thinkin’
You know I never meant to treat you so bad
I get a little crazy when I’ve drinkin’
My momma says I’m just like my dad
Shannon come back, whoa-oh
Shannon come back to me
Why can’t it be like it used to be?
I’ll never lay another finger on ya
Don’t know what got into me back then
But now I’ve changed and I’m in a program
Promise that I’ll never hurt you again
I know now I should ‘ve let you keep the baby
We could try again when I’m paroled
Soon as I’m out, got a job waiting for me
At a cycle shop on West Lake Road
Shannon come back
Shannon come back to me
Why can’t it be just like it used to be?
Bridge: I’m not angry now but I’m just sayin’
If you don’t answer, you just might regret
I couldn’t be held responsible and
Shannon you know I never forget.
Break
I hear the dude your with now drives a Volvo
Don’t see you ridin’ in that kinda car
Watcha want with a guy like that, Shan?
He’s got no tatts …he’s got no scars
Doesn’t know all the best bars
Shannon come back
Shannon come back to me
Why can’t it be just like it used to be?
That I’m writing you in care of your Mom
Let me guess: your Dad still hates me
Can it be two years since I been gone?
I’ve had the time to do a lot a thinkin’
You know I never meant to treat you so bad
I get a little crazy when I’ve drinkin’
My momma says I’m just like my dad
Shannon come back, whoa-oh
Shannon come back to me
Why can’t it be like it used to be?
I’ll never lay another finger on ya
Don’t know what got into me back then
But now I’ve changed and I’m in a program
Promise that I’ll never hurt you again
I know now I should ‘ve let you keep the baby
We could try again when I’m paroled
Soon as I’m out, got a job waiting for me
At a cycle shop on West Lake Road
Shannon come back
Shannon come back to me
Why can’t it be just like it used to be?
Bridge: I’m not angry now but I’m just sayin’
If you don’t answer, you just might regret
I couldn’t be held responsible and
Shannon you know I never forget.
Break
I hear the dude your with now drives a Volvo
Don’t see you ridin’ in that kinda car
Watcha want with a guy like that, Shan?
He’s got no tatts …he’s got no scars
Doesn’t know all the best bars
Shannon come back
Shannon come back to me
Why can’t it be just like it used to be?

It's hard to understand why Shannon would reject the advances of this nice young man, so full of good intentions! All very amusing. I love the clean guitar sound you get, John, and your vocal is just right. Thanks for the download! And is that Shannon in the photo? She seems a delightful girl, too.
