The Great Migration: You Shot Me Down Again

You Shot Me Down Again

Seems every time I get my feet on high ground
Girl, you show up at my door
And every time I put on a new face
You dress up all in red
Well honey you know that I can’t change the past
And all I’ve got left is to keep on living
Seems every time I get my feet on high ground
You shoot me down again

You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down again!
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down again!
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down again!

I built a house by the lullaby sea
Made friends with the fisherman’s son
And I’m so happy
We sing all night by a driftwood fire
I make love to a deep-eyed girl
Things couldn’t be finer
But I can taste the air sweating on the black fly dunes
I can see the ponies swimming for shore
Seems every time I get my feet on high ground
You show up wanting more
And you:

You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down again!
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down, girl
You shoot me down again...
You shoot me down again!

You took off my shirt
Ran down my skin
You kissed me where the bullet went in
You blew the gaff
You stepped on my friends
You shot me down again
You shot me down again
You shot me down again
Girl, you shot me down

You shot me down, girl
You shot me down, girl
You shot me down again...
You shot me down, girl
You shot me down, girl
You shot me down again...
You shot me down again!
You shot me down, girl
You shot me down, girl
You shot me down again...
You shot me down, girl
You shot me down, girl
You shot me down again...
You shot me down again!

Girl, you shot me down again...
