# Ghosts I Ride With ### Verse 1 Every scar's got a story, Every mile's got a name. Some roads lead you home, Some never leave the pain. I've watched sunsets through a windshield, With nothing but my thoughts. Some things time can't bury... Some lessons can't be bought. ### Pre-Chorus They don't ride behind me... They don't ride ahead. They're somewhere in the silence Between my heart and head. ### Chorus We all ride with ghosts... Some wear a smiling face. Some remind us where we've been, Some keep us in our place. Some whisper, "Don't forget." Some say, "Keep moving on." You don't leave them in the dust... You just learn to ride along. ### Verse 2 I still hear my daddy laughing In the wind across the fields. Some mornings I still reach for him... Before I remember what's real. I've made peace with old mistakes, Though their echoes still remain. Funny how the hardest battles Never leave a single stain. ### Bridge If I could change the pages, I'd probably change a few. But then I wouldn't be the man Standing here talking to you. Maybe ghosts aren't here to haunt us... Maybe they're here to show Just how far we've really come From the people we used to know. ### Final Chorus We all ride with ghosts... But they don't hold the reins. Faith can carry broken hearts Through sunshine and through rain. Every mile's another lesson... Every dawn's another chance. The ghosts never really leave... You just learn to ride beside them. ### Outro (Spoken) The people we lose... The mistakes we make... The dreams that didn't work out... They all ride with us. Maybe that's okay. Because sometimes the ghosts we carry Are the ones that remind us How far we've come.
