lyrics

You looked young, you looked young in your mother's coat
I felt dumb, I felt dumb when your father spoke
We were young, we were young drinking whiskey and coke
We were young, we were young but our hearts they were broke

Still I feel a strange bit of luck
Some were born to love and some to fuck
My legs they grew but my heart it shrunk
A strange bit of luck

So we went, so we went somewhere we couldn't be found
We drove out, we drove out to the old burying grounds
We went looking, we went looking for some old dumb funny clown
Found him there, found him there six feet under the ground

Still I feel a strange bit of luck
Some were born to love and some to fuck
My legs they grew but my heart it shrunk
A strange bit of luck

Beating heart, beating heart buried deep inside your breast
The pounding rails, the pounding rails on a train through the Midwest
Oh Chicago, oh Chicago how I missed your windy face
Carry me, carry me down the road out of this place

She said I'll make you a union man
Spill the blood on your wicked hands
Show you something you won't understand
Just some bitter love

Shannon won't you carry me down through the valley and cover me with leaves
Shannon won't you carry me down through the valley and bury me with the trees
Shannon won't you carry me over the mountain and show me your true face
Shannon won't you carry me down through the valley and cover me with leaves

Cause I don't wanna do this, I don't wanna do this, I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna do this, I don't wanna do this, don't wanna cheat the hand that made me

Shannon won't you carry me down through the valley and cover me with leaves
Shannon won't you carry me down through the valley and bury me with the trees
Shannon won't you carry me over the mountain and show me your true face
Shannon won't you carry me down through the valley and cover me with leaves
