about

a song about my hometown and the ghosts therein.

lyrics

Well you know me
At least that’s what I think
I can’t keep my mouth shut
Especially when I drink
but at the end of the day
there’s worse places i could be

I ain't young no more
should do what i'm told
but lately being good's
been getting a little old
So I'm still sitting at the bar
when I know damn well I should just go home

I got a sneaking suspicion
That we’re al…ready alone
but I get my keen intuition
from living with all of these ghosts

Gossip knows she’s got a good job in this town
and she knows the worst ways
to loosen up your tongue
Whiskey works but she’ll tell you
pills get the job done

Did I touch you at all
when I saw you last May
had my hair done up
cause it was on my wedding day
And I know I was drunk
but you left me sitting there so late

I got a sneaking suspicion
That we’re already alone
but I get my keen Intuition
from living with all of these ghosts

I know there's nothing much to do in Shepherdstown
But get the lead out of you boots
you better Stop hangin' round
you oughta get out and find yourself a new home
Or you might just end up livin' with a ghost of your own

Maybe it’s the time
or maybe it’s the drugs
or the realization that I don’t know enough
But it’s three in the morning and I’m baking bread
I know that i wont eat

I’ve got two bad eyes
but even I can see
shadows sneaking out the backdoor
in my periphery
Are they hoping to be ignored
Or are they reaching out to me

I got a sneaking suspicion
That we’re already alone
but I get my keen Intuition
from living with all of these ghosts

I know there's nothing much to do in Shepherdstown
But get the lead out of you boots
you better Stop hangin' Round
you outta get out and find yourself a new home
Or you might just end up livin' with ghosts of your own
