Shotgun Ghost

Intro

(shotgun...)

Hook

Shot-shot-shotgun ghost

Ridin' shotgun where the ridge road goes

Shot-shot-shotgun ghost

Can't outrun what the passenger knows

Verse 1

Hahahahaha...

Truck won't start till midnight, that's the rule she set

Belt clicks on by itself on the seat where nobody sits

Radio finds one station and it only plays one song

Cold hand on the gearshift when I hold a gear too long

Folks in town say I look like a man who don't sleep

They don't know the ridge road, and I don't know how deep

Hook

Shot-shot-shotgun ghost

Ridin' shotgun where the ridge road goes

Shot-shot-shotgun ghost

Can't outrun what the passenger knows

Verse 2

Every switchback she leans in, hums the tune she died to

Tires cry on the gravel like they know what I drove through

Preacher says confess it, sheriff says forget it

She just says drive, so I drive, and I don't get to quit

Headlights find the same mile marker every night

Eighty on the gravel and I still can't get it right

Bridge

You drive awful fast for a man with nowhere to go

Ain't runnin' from you, girl... I'm runnin' from what I know

Then pull over

...she's got both hands on the wheel now

Breakdown

(shotgun ghost... ghost... ghost)

Build

Hook

Shot-shot-shotgun ghost (ghost-ghost)

Ridin' shotgun where the ridge road goes

Shot-shot-shotgun ghost

Can't outrun what the passenger knows

Drive, drive, drive... (drive)

Outro

Engine's off. Keys in her hand.

(ridin' shotgun)... your turn.
