Shawnee Girl

I always wanna stay, wanna stay
You just wanna go wanna go
Fly in separate aeroplanes
Through rain or snow

I don't know the way why
Bent on making bad
Flowers sometimes turn dry
Keep losing what we had

Oh, Shawnee girl
I'm sorry I ever made you feel sad

You were our first born
The daughter I dreamed of
Miracle of wonder
Writes the poetry of love
I don't understand why simple things just come undone
We complicate emotions
When we've only just begun
I'm blessed beyond measure to be your dad

Oh, Shawnee girl
I'm sorry
I ever made you feel sad

And this is all I am
And this is all I got
You are my flesh and blood
Starry night lights up
And this is all we want
And this is all we give
You and I shine together
Love where we live
Where we live
And this is all I am
This is all I got
You are my flesh and blood
Starry night lights up

And this is all we want
And this is all we give
You and I shine together
Love where we live
How we live how we live

I always wanna stay, wanna stay
You just wanna go wanna go fly in separate aeroplanes
Through rain or snow, oh Shawnee girl
I'm sorry If I ever made you feel sad
