	Story Behind the Song Shannon is the Strother family cemetery in Mason County, Kentucky. The song is about my parents and grandparents and the singer hopes he will be as worthy to be buried in the family graveyard. This is a four-track demo made in July 2002. Christopher Brunelli plays guitar, Rex is vocalist and harmony vocalist. Lyrics My father held the lightning bolt It blackened all his skin It made him shine and made him race And finally did him in My mother held a music box And put it to the test It played all through the aching night But finally came to rest And when I die, remember me Born to this poor family But proud we are, so bury me Bury me in Shannon Grandpa was a godless man He worked right through a war And always slipped me money as I headed out the door grandma was the quiet saint That heaven did adore The angels knew she loved that man With the money by the door And when I go, I'll say one thing We all sleep the sleep of kings So proud I am, my coffin bring And bury me in Shannon
