[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, Shawnee Girl
I'm sorry I ever made you feel sad

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
Oh, Shawnee Girl
I'm sorry I ever made you feel sad

[Bridge]
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
Ooh, how we live, ooh, how we live
[Outro]
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
