Recorded Live at Eddie's Attic in Decatur, Georgia

lyrics

'I aspire to be with you'
And she says, 'one wish would do,
Just to lay to rest in your shoes
And one sunny day
In the mist of a cloud's dying rain,
We'd run away
And never turn our heads to see the old days fade
Or to watch our memories fall covered under shade
But all those times have changed

Now I can see forever in the highway lines
Taking all I've gathered and it's left behind
But don't you know I'd rather be a ghost in time
Where I'm gone, i'm gone
And no one knows
No one knows but you

Now ain't it just the truth
Sometimes roads that we choose
We're bound to lose
And to fall face down in troubled news
And where we belong
Is a mystery in life just as long
As we travel on
Those same old tired road from dusk to dawn
While never finding out just where our lives went wrong
When all those days are gone

Now I can see forever in the highway lines
Taking all I've gathered and it's left behind
But don't you know I'd rather be a ghost in time
Where I'm gone, i'm gone
And no one knows
No one knows but you

Now have i been the fool
In this senseless neverending duel
Between me and you
Through the good news and the bad news
Tell me true
What do you see?
When you look in my eyes
Tell me please
In all honesty
There's a fool who's standing here
And is it me?
Give me this one last thing before i have to leave
Because with these walking feet

Now I can see forever in the highway lines
Taking all I've gathered and it's left behind
But don't you know I'd rather be a ghost in time
Where I'm gone, i'm gone

And though I know my role is right
In this unfolding life
I won't go back and fight
What can't be saved
But there's a fear of mine
The times I have been blind
Will hunt me down and find
Me one solemn day
But until that day comes to follow me down
I know, I ain't down now

Now I can see forever in the highway lines
Taking all I've gathered and it's left behind
But don't you know I'd rather be a ghost in time
Where I'm gone, i'm gone
And no one knows
No one knows but you
