She came to prominence in 1999, at the age of 14, with the release of her first album, 'Loud Guitars, Big Suspicions', which she recorded a year earlier in 1998. Even at that time, her deep, robust voice and virtuoso electric guitar playing surprised many listeners, who found it difficult to believe that they were listening to a performer in her teens, rather than her twenties or thirties.

After a prolonged absence from recording, Shannon self-released a five-song EP entitled Take It Like A Man in July of 2006.

A full-length album "Fast Lane Addiction" was released late in 2007, showing her guitar playing, songwriting and vocals have matured yet still retain their power and edge.

Like her contemporary Jonny Lang (b. 1981), Curfman is from North Dakota.

I'm Coming Home
Shannon Curfman Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been hearing stories
Ever since I've been gone
Heard all about your women
Women, wine and song
Did you think I wouldn't find you out?
Did you think I wouldn't know?
Let's skip the inquisition
Consider this your eviction

I'm coming home

I've been hearing rumors
I gave you the benefit of the doubt
Ever since the day I took you in
I should have kicked you out
You've been living off my money
And I bet you ain't alone
It's been going on too long
I better find you gone
When I get home

I'm comin' home to quit ya
So don't let that back door hit ya when ya go
I'm heading down the interstate
Taking back my real estate
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

When you said you loved me
I should of known what you meant
I guess you loved me just enough
To let me pay the rent
Since you've been livin' off me
You've been livin' high
Now I think it's way past time
To leave you high and dry

Let's skip the inquisition
Consider this your eviction
I'm coming home

It's been going on too long
I better find you gone when I get home

I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Line by Line Meaning

I've been hearing stories
I've been listening to rumors

Ever since I've been gone
Since the time I left

Heard all about your women
Got to know about your female companions

Women, wine and song
Parties, drinks, and music

Did you think I wouldn't find you out?
Did you think I won't discover the truth?

Did you think I wouldn't know?
Did you think I am ignorant?

Let's skip the inquisition
No need to investigate

Consider this your eviction
Take this as your removal notice

I'm coming home
I'm returning back

I've been hearing rumors
I've been hearing hearsay

I gave you the benefit of the doubt
I trusted you despite doubts

Ever since the day I took you in
From the day I chose to keep you

I should have kicked you out
I should have removed you

You've been living off my money
You've been dependent on my finances

And I bet you ain't alone
I believe you're not the only one

It's been going on too long
This has been happening for too long

I better find you gone
I should find you absent

When I get home
Upon my arrival

I'm comin' home to quit ya
I'm coming home to leave you

So don't let that back door hit ya when ya go
Don't let the door hit you on your way out

I'm heading down the interstate
I'm driving on the highway

Taking back my real estate
Taking back what is mine

When you said you loved me
When you claimed to love me

I should of known what you meant
I should have understood your intention

I guess you loved me just enough
I assume you only loved my money

To let me pay the rent
To allow me to pay the rent

Since you've been livin' off me
Because you've been relying on me

You've been livin' high
You've been living luxuriously

Now I think it's way past time
I believe it's already overdue

To leave you high and dry
To abandon you with no support
