lyrics

HEY SHANNON

Well the leaves sure turn a pretty color
In the autumn’s mid-day noon
And it’s a tourist town, but there really ain’t much a nuthin’ to do
Just here because I have to be and I’d guess that you are too
But I’d give you a light and buy you a drink
Just to find out what you do

A doctor or a lawyer, an executive or an engineer
They all sound so nice, but none of them are what I do for real
I’d say anything you want me to, but just to tell you the truth
I’m just a guy
Trying to talk you

Chorus:
Hey Shannon
Do you remember me
Could you possibly recall an old man and a fake ring
It was a really good story
And we had fun and drink
Hey Shannon
Do you remember me

Yeah this whiskey’s good, though I don’t drink much
No I don’t know the name of this place
Yeah I only smoke when I drink and I don’t normally do this kinda thing
You say we coulda been married
In another life you think
I think that it’s crazy, crazy we fall so easily

Chorus

It’s been a really crazy night, with all your friends and me
Guess I’ll take you up on the ride home, it’s cold and I got a bad knee
Girl you know what you started, but enough about fate and dreams
All I need to know right now, is how you feel about me

Well I called just like I said I would, but I knew deep down inside
That you’d be gone though it seemed so right and I’d be alone again tonight
It’s pretty here with the leaves all turning brown and gold from their old green
Just to fall of in the winter
For the new leaves in the spring

Chorus
