Shepherdstown Lyrics by Olivia Ellen Lloyd

Loose Cannon

2020

[Verse 1]
Well you know me
At least that's what I think
I can't keep my mouth shut
Especially when I drink
But at the end of the day
There's worse places I could be
And I ain't young no more
Should do what I'm told
But lately, being good's been getting a little old
So I'm still sitting at the bar
When I know damn well I should just go home
[Chorus]
I got a sneaking suspicion
That we're already alone
But I get my keen intuition
From living here with all of these ghosts
[Verse 2]
Gossip knows she's got a good job in this town
And she knows the worst ways
To come and tear you down
Whiskey works, but she'll tell ya
"Pills get the job done"
And I know you can't recall
When I saw you last May
Had my hair done up
'Cause it was on my wedding day
And I know I was drunk
But you left me sitting there so late
[Chorus]
But I got a sneaking suspicion
We're already alone
But I get my keen intuition
From living here with all of these ghosts
[Refrain]
I know there's nothing much to do in Shepherdstown
But get the lead out of you boots, you better stop hanging 'round
You oughta get out and find yourself a new home
Or you might just end up living with a ghost of your own
[Verse 3]
Maybe it's the time or maybe it's the drugs
Or the realization that I don't know enough
But it's three in the morning
I'm baking bread I know that I won't eat
I've got two bad eyes, but even I can see
Shadows sneaking out the backdoor in my periphery
Are they hoping to be ignored?
Or are they reaching out to me?
[Chorus]
I got a sneaking suspicion
That we're already alone
But I get my keen intuition
From living here with all of these ghosts
[Refrain]
I know there's nothing much to do in Shepherdstown
But get the lead out of you boots, you better stop hanging 'round
You oughta get out and find yourself a new home
Or you might just end up living with a ghost of your own
Or you might just end up living with a ghost of your own
