Shawnta

Intro

Shawnta... yeah...

(Shawnta, Shawnta)

Verse

Came up from Georgia, rolled into Carolina

June the second, couldn’t take my eyes off ya

Green shorts shining in that low porch light

One look, baby, and my whole world right

Next morning you said “hop in, I’ll run you to the store”

Laughin’ with the windows down, already wantin’ more

Chorus

Shawnta, Shawnta, you still got that hold

Thirty years gone but the story ain’t old

We had our time, then we let it slip away

Two kids on your hands, I went my own way

Now the road brought us back, and I ain’t lettin’ go

Shawnta, Shawnta, say you’ll wear my ring, oh-oh

Verse

Year and a half of heaven, then the years got cold

Life moved on, but your name never left my soul

2018 you popped up on my line again

September 2020, we started back in

Six months later I knew what I had to do

November twenty-one, I’m standin’ in front of you

Chorus

Shawnta, Shawnta, you still got that hold

Thirty years gone but the story ain’t old

We had our time, then we let it slip away

Two kids on your hands, I went my own way

Now the road brought us back, and I ain’t lettin’ go

Shawnta, Shawnta, say you’ll wear my ring, oh-oh

Bridge

All them miles, all them nights

Brought me right back to your green-short eyes

No more runnin’, no more goodbye

Just me and you ‘til the end of time

Chorus

Shawnta, Shawnta, you still got that hold

Thirty years gone but the story ain’t old

We had our time, then we let it slip away

Now I’m the one who gets to stay

Shawnta, Shawnta, say you’ll wear my ring, oh-oh

Shawnta, Shawnta... my everything
