Ghosts
He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anythingStronger than coffee in 10 months 3 weeks and 1 long dayHe pushed away his plate and said, it's better late then never doneWhen it comes to gettin' right, it took a while but I saw the light
He said, some things, they cast long shadowsThat I never will out run and everyday I spend a-livin'
The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrongGrab a chair 'cause the list is longI can write you a country songAbout the reasons I'll be going home
To a house full of memoriesThings I wish I done differentlyWhen I'm feeling weak, they keep me strongThe ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong
He said, there's a spot of paintAnd it just ain't the right shadeBut it covers up the hole I've madeWhere I broke my wrist the night she left
And there's a lot of friendsThat I ain't never seen in a lot of yearsSome are still hangin' 'roundIn old pictures I just can't take down
He said some thingsThey cast long shadowsThat I never will out runAnd everyday I do battle
With the ghosts of all the things I've done wrongGrab a chair 'cause the list is longI can write you a country songAbout the reasons I'll be going home
To a house full of memoriesThings I wish I done differentlyAnd when I'm feeling weak, they keep me strongThe ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong
I got a heart full of memoriesThings I wish I'd done differentlyAnd when I'm feeling weak, they keep me strongThe ghosts of all the things I've done wrong
He said he had to stopHe hadn't had a drop of anythingStronger than coffee in 10 months 3 weeksAnd 1 long day
