[Verse 1] The stage lights hum a dusty tune Reflecting back a silver moon Upon the hallowed, polished floor Where legends walked, and asked for more Than just applause, a fleeting fame They built this house, they carved its name. [Chorus] Oh, the Grand Ole Opry, can’t you hear? A whisper in your inner ear A phantom chord, a sweet refrain Calling out, again, again It’s the Opry Ghost, you understand Haunting every single band. [Verse 2] I picked my notes, a steady pace A smile upon my eager face But in the corner of my eye A shadow seemed to saunter by A glimmer, gone, a soft sigh blown Could it be Hank, or even stone? [Chorus] Oh, the Grand Ole Opry, can’t you hear? A whisper in your inner ear A phantom chord, a sweet refrain Calling out, again, again It’s the Opry Ghost, you understand Haunting every single band. [Bridge] They say the spirits linger near Of those who conquered doubt and fear With just a song, a heartfelt plea For all the world, and you, and me. I hope they liked my little show Before I packed my bags to go. [Chorus] Oh, the Grand Ole Opry, can’t you hear? A whisper in your inner ear A phantom chord, a sweet refrain Calling out, again, again It’s the Opry Ghost, you understand Haunting every single band.
