Shannon Rhodes Songtext

von Damien Jurado

I drove from Montesano to Aberdeen.
From Aberdeen to Pacific Beach.
A pocket full of wrong numbers.
Has anybody seen Shannon Rhoads?

I see her from the window of my memory
Standing like an angel down the hall.
I'll call when I get home this evening.
Has anybody seen Shannon Rhoads?

Some say she moved in with her lover.
The man her mother could not stand.
"Ma he only hits me when he's angry."
Has anybody seen Shannon Rhoads?

Four miles from the highway they found her.
Lying in the tall grass by the road.
Murdered by the hands of her lover.
Goodbye, goodbye, Shannon Rhoads.

Yesterday I went out to her grave site
The same day that her lover stood his trial
At her grave I stood there and remembered
All my days with Shannon Rhodes.
