[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I ve been up and down the river
seen the highways and back roads
this country sure is beautiful
but a byway ain t a home
my eyes have gazed upon some land
I thought I d never see
but it feels like someone else s life
and it don t belong to me
[Chorus]
I m so tired of being alone
in technicolor motels
watchin late night talking shows
lately I ve felt like a road shot full of holes
leaving everything behind me
everywhere I go
this ain t my bed
or what I chose
I used to be outnumbered
but now
I m just a Ghost
[Verse 2]
I sure have missed my brother
he just turned 25 years old
I often have to ask myself
where did little clay boy go
I know that you can t stop or slow the pace of someone s age
but to me it ain t worth missing
just to have more console change
[Chorus]
I m so tired of being alone
in technicolor motels
watchin late night talking shows
lately I ve felt like a road shot full of holes
leaving everything behind me
everywhere I go
this ain t my bed
or what I chose
I used to be outnumbered
but now
I m just a Ghost
[Verse 3]
I hope the road remembers when I go and meet my maker
to send some flowers to my love
for not letting me take her
I have longed for her so dearly
for I ve missed more than I ve seen
spending all my time on mountain sides
with pumps for gasoline
[Chorus]
I m so tired of being alone
in technicolor motels
watchin late night talking shows
lately I ve felt like a road shot full of holes
leaving everything behind me
everywhere I go
this ain t my bed
or what I chose
I used to be outnumbered
but now
I m just a Ghost
