[Verse 1] I set two glasses down On that warped old pine One for me One for the ones who died The bottle's half gone But the room ain't bare There's a boot by the door And a cap in the chair [Pre-Chorus] They come when the ice turns thin When the talk gets slow They know my name Like they never let go [Chorus] I ain't drinking alone I got ghosts at the table (ghosts at the table) They keep me company When I'm too tired to fight I ain't drinking alone In this old roadside trailer (ghosts at the table) Every sip brings them home Every night [Verse 2] There's Tommy with the grin And Jones with the scar They laugh like boys Under a busted moon in a jar Mama says I came back But some part stayed over there In the hum of the dark And the dust in my hair [Pre-Chorus] They come when the ice turns thin When the talk gets slow They know my name Like they never let go [Chorus] I ain't drinking alone I got ghosts at the table (ghosts at the table) They keep me company When I'm too tired to fight I ain't drinking alone In this old roadside trailer (ghosts at the table) Every sip brings them home Every night [Bridge] Sometimes they get quiet When the bottle runs dry Then I hear my own heart And I don't ask why I pour one more round For the scared little man Who came back in one piece With a hole in his hands [Chorus] I ain't drinking alone I got ghosts at the table (ghosts at the table) They keep me company When I'm too tired to fight I ain't drinking alone In this old roadside trailer (ghosts at the table) Every sip brings them home Every night [Outro] So leave that porch light on If you pass this way There's a full house here And they all got a name
