Ghosts on 101 (version 2)

Intro

Neon fades at the off-ramp sign

Fades to static, fades to dark

Verse 1

Rust belt skyline on a fading screen

Old man counting change like it's all he's seen

Station lights flicker on the gravel road

Someone turning keys that used to be our own

Pre-Chorus

Where do you go when there's no one waiting?

Do the ghosts come back for someone staying?

Chorus

Ghosts on 101, they never fade

Ghosts on 101, they stay on every curve

Burning fuel and a hundred miles of shame

Dust behind us like it's chasing our name

Ghosts on 101, they keep us true

Ghosts on 101, we'll ride them through

Verse 2

Diner coffee black and the clock says five

Same booth, same booths where you used to lie

Palm print grease on a glass that's still wet

Somebody else ordering eggs that we ate

Pre-Chorus

Where do you go when there's no one waiting?

Do the ghosts come back for someone staying?

Chorus

Ghosts on 101, they never fade

Ghosts on 101, they stay on every curve

Burning fuel and a hundred miles of shame

Dust behind us like it's chasing our name

Ghosts on 101, they keep us true

Ghosts on 101, we'll ride them through

Bridge

Do you hear the hum where the old signal used to go?

Is that your voice or just the wind talking slow?

Hold still long enough and the past will catch up

And for once I'm grateful for something pulling us back in

Chorus

Ghosts on 101, they never fade

Ghosts on 101, they stay on every curve

Burning fuel and a hundred miles of shame

Dust behind us like it's chasing our name

Ghosts on 101, they keep us true

Ghosts on 101, we'll ride them through
