[Verse 1] Your boots by the door Still wearin' red dust Old porch screen squeaks When the night wind cuts Your name on my tongue Like a burnin' brand I reach for your coat And it's just my hand [Pre-Chorus] I keep hearin' your laugh In the hall at home Same damn footsteps But I'm all alone The mirror don't lie It shows what I know Some things don't leave They just move in slow [Chorus] Ghosts of my memories Go on, haunt me now Ghosts of my memories Keep draggin' me down I still hear you call In the empty room Ghosts of my memories Got a hold on me too [Verse 2] Coffee cup cracked On the sink by two Your ring in the dish Still looks brand new I tried new roads Tried new friends But every back road Turns you back again [Pre-Chorus] I keep hearin' your laugh In the hall at home Same damn footsteps But I'm all alone The mirror don't lie It shows what I know Some things don't leave They just move in slow [Chorus] Ghosts of my memories Go on, haunt me now Ghosts of my memories Keep draggin' me down I still hear you call In the empty room Ghosts of my memories Got a hold on me too [Bridge] If I burn these pictures Will the ache let go? If I shut that door Will you still come home? I ain't made of stone I'm just flesh and scars You live in the cracks And the back of my heart [Final Chorus] Ghosts of my memories Go on, haunt me now Ghosts of my memories Keep draggin' me down I still hear you call In the empty room Ghosts of my memories Got a hold on me too Ghosts of my memories Ghosts of my memories
