Shawn James - The Shadow Lyrics
There I was just mindin' my own business
When I saw a shadow out the corner of my eye
I'd seen that shadow once before, in my life
Well, it was the day my father died
Caught me down a dead end way
To my surprise when he opened his mouth
Well, I could hear my father say
He said, "son, I know just where you've been, yeah
And I know just how you'll meet your end
You better turn from the path that you're on
Lest you end up just like your old man
Hold up, wait a minute there man! like...
You used to beat my mother down
Well, she left your sorry ass, because you wouldn't choose
Your wife and son over your booze
Now, I ain't a damn thing, like the man you used to be
You better go back to where you belong, ohh
And maybe then you'll begin to see

Shawn James The Shadow Comments
I love this song, but it fucks my up. Long story short, my dad was an alcoholic and abused my mother terribly in my youth. I have many awful memories. But the worst part that came out of it, is I am afraid in my relationships as a man that I might become like him when things get hard. That irrational fear follows me, because of the trauma we experienced. This song speaks to my soul, and calls out that inner devil for what it is. Soul food music.
Who is playing the harmonica in this video!? ... Wonder if it is the same guy who plays the fiddle in some songs. Can't figure out who this is...
This man single handedly helped me define my own style of music. Huge inspiration for me.
This is one of those extremely rare gifted talented people you can not ignore
AWESOME
tuning?
Shawn James is my role model
algum BR?
mano do céu... essa música faz qualquer um delirar <3 love you Shawn James
Harmonica sounds good in Bb
Shadow spirit following me.

The Shadow
Shawn James
There I was just mindin' my own business
When I saw a shadow out the corner of my eye
I'd seen that shadow once before, in my life
Well, it was the day my father died
So I turned and I fled, but that shadow gave chase
Caught me down a dead end way
To my surprise when he opened his mouth
Well, I could hear my father say
He said, "son, I know just where you've been, yeah
And I know just how you'll meet your end
You better turn from the path that you're on
Lest you end up just like your old man
Hold up, wait a minute there man! Like
Did you forget who you were?
You used to beat my mother down
Well, she left your sorry ass, because you wouldn't choose
Your wife and son over your booze
Now, I ain't a damn thing, like the man you used to be
You better go back to where you belong, ohh
And maybe then you'll begin to see
Ohh
Ooh

Dirty as fuck, I cant get enough of this man. His sound, his style, oh my lord
Geniva Lynn Gotta love a woman who can appreciate the dirty dirty side.😎
I love it. Love him.
Shawn James, this song has helped me heal so much.. its like listening to a narration of the times with my some mom.. I sought treatment and have since become a part of his life again. her and I are over.. but him and I are just starting again.. thank you for your soul.. I connect so hard to so much of what you write.
Joshua Scott Psssst.... You should probably proof read your message.... Don't make a lot of sense just fyi. Appreciate the sentiment though. I know what you mean, always helps me when I'm in a tough spot listening to his music
you remind me of The Black Keys...not knocking you man...you sound AMAZING! You are now part of a bushcrafters playlist he brings into the woods for days! That's saying something
¿Que modelo de guitarra es?
Brutal !!!
Damn, it's like old Black Keys stuff \m/
No it's not
in 40 years they will write about him in textbooks
what music genre is this considered to be apart of?
SaucyPanda southern rock is what I've always called it
SaucyPanda its a mix of folk and soul with some country twang
SaucyPanda it's good old blues my dude
country rock
this song is blues
Miss you guys
Algum BR?
Não importa onde tu for, sempre vai encontrar um br xd
Aqui tá cheio.
Oq mais tem kkk
ehnoisss
com certezaaa....
Does anyone knows the tabs of the harmonica?
Pure Talent. Goosebumps for sure ♡
Such raw vibes. A song with The Black Keys would be awesome!
5 dislikes. How on earth is this even possible ? They must be deaf people and very dispointed because even the clip is awesome.
29 dislikes now.
Unbelievable.
I think they're just trolls.. honestly... there is no reason, if you like a strong voice, that anyone would dislike this..
Because he is more interested in what he looks like playing the music.
@Brad Coffman Please do tell us how you came up with that conclusion? You watched the video on mute right?

oh god!
Wow wow wow
why do i want to learn how to play all songs of this guy?? xD
TheburningFalcon you learn to play, I'll learn they lyrics, and we'll start a tribute band lol
Algún latino,para jugar Dark Souls
Does anyone know what kind of guitar he's playing?
Defintely dobro, resonating like hell's bells, no doubt !
Actually it may not be a dobro, you can see it has humbuckers and tone/volume knobs.
The 1 person who down voted this song apparently doesn't have ears.
Gotta love this guy
It's official. I love this guy...
so many feels for this guy. he's amazing.
😍😍
