Lyrics
GHOST HIGHWAY
V1
I was sleepy & I feel into a dream one night
I was driving & I saw a downright scary sight
A spirit traveler from the past was driving next to me
His wheels didn't touch the ground
And they didn't make a sound
Instead, I could hear the spirit when he talked to me
Said I could learn a thing or two if I could see
All the lessons on display in all of history
Here on... Ghost Highway (2x)
CHORUS 1
It's not an easy task to learn from the past
But those truths will last on Ghost Highway
They travel down this road - Ancient stories told
You know it's kinda cold on Ghost Highway
Like I've always said - I don't fear the dead
That's why I chose to tread on Ghost Highway (2x)
V2
There was a wide array of stories there that I could see Each stroke painted on the vast expanse of history
No lack of spirits willing just to talk to me
Spirits both young & old - They wanted their stories told
So I began to travel all throughout the ages where
Some tales were funny & there were those that gave a scare The spirits guided me down many lanes of memory here...
On Ghost Highway - Ghost Highway
CHORUS 2
If you are unafraid to see history made
The spirits never fade on Ghost Highway
They travel down this road - ancient stories told
You know it's kinda cold on Ghost Highway
Where past & present meets & history repeats
Come on & find the streets of Ghost Highway (4X)
DRAMATIC SPOOKY INTERLUDE
BREAKDOWN
Ben Franklin showed that learning science can be a SHOCK Got composing tips from Johann Sebastian Bach
St. Peter said that Jesus was the solid rock
Winston Churchill showed how you must deal with evil men
I learned courage from Daniel in the lion's den
Faith in the midst of trials I learned from Washington
Got dark for ages - Got a little lost but then
A light came on when I met Thomas Edison
It all made sense when I remembered I was ridin'...
On Ghost Highway (2x) REPEAT CHORUS 1
V3
It was time to wake and so I took an exit ramp
I woke up sweaty, yeah, all my sheets were kinda damp
I rubbed my eyes, rolled over & I turned on my lamp
Spirits were still in my head - And this is what they said
Take what you've learned & find one in which to confide Tell 'em though we're gone our stories still remain alive And any time they want they're welcome to take a ride
On Ghost Highway (2x) REPEAT CHORUS 2
