Lyrics

Shannon was a shaker, in the dust of Texas land Built himself a mattress store, with his own calloused hands An honest life in Lubbock, on honesty he stands Until the Mattress Mafia, brought trouble to his plans [Chorus] Movers and the shakers, but Shannon shook the most In a town where comfort's king, he was the gracious host The firmest beds and pillows down, Shannon's spotless name But the Mattress Mafia, they played a dirty game [Verse 2] First they came to him as friends, they offered him a deal But Shannon's morals wouldn't bend, he wouldn't cheat and steal Well that upset the Mattress Don, he told Shannon he'd be killed For when the Mob comes to your town, it's to impose their will [Chorus] Movers and the shakers, but Shannon shook the most He stood right there and pissed himself, and burned his Christmas roast The firmest beds and pillows down, Shannon's spotless name But the Mattress Mafia, they played a dirty game Played a dirty game [Verse 3] Well Shannon kept a goin', he vowed to never quit Til late one night he walked outside to a flaming bag of shit He cinched his bathrobe up real tight, he said this was the end he screamed 'come get me you son of a bitch, my patience wearing thin!' [Bridge][sung] Why is he sleeping at the store? Does he live at the store? No one knows. No one knows. But we suspect it for sure. [Verse 4] Well Shannon went into the store, he put his house shoes on He put on a pot of coffee, he loaded up his gun [Bridge] The sky turned dark, the wind did moan A pickup parked, by lanterns shown Shannon stands in his mattress fort Like David 'gainst Goliath's sort [Bridge]I definitely think he lives there, why would he be up there so late? I see shoes and socks upon the floor, casserole on a paper plate [Verse 5]Shannon dove behind a California King as bullets they whizzed past. His family sprang from their bunk beds and got out of there fast He raised the barrel of his daddy's rusty ol' .410 He squeezed the trigger but no sound came, the spring had worn too thin Spring had worn too thin [Chorus]Now isnt it ironic, that a spring would do him in. He had the finest springs in town, but they were only for sleepin' [Verse 7] Well Shannon fell there where he stood, he barely made a sound Reached into his pocket, took a bite of a Fudge Round His tormentor stood over him, said 'I wish you would've listened' 'Also I must apologize, I didn't know there'd be women and children' [Solo] 'Before you go ol Shannon, you have to let me know. Do you have another place or is the store your home?' Well Shannon looked at him and winked, and then he breathed his last Legend has it on the right kinda night, you still smell the brisket smoke wafting past [Chorus] Oh Movers and the shakers, but Shannon shook the most In a town where comfort's king, he's now nothing but a ghost But did he live inside the store? I guess that we'll know never But thanks to the evil Mattress Mob, now he lives there, forever [Outro] [Long steel guitar solo] [Long harmonica solo] [Outro] [Smattering of applause]
