(It's been a long time)

(It's been a long time)

(I shouldn't have left you)

(I shouldn't have left you)

(It's been a long time)

(I shouldn't have left you)

She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams

She wants the best of me

She wants some security

But now I got to leave

Chasin' ghosts

Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)

(I shouldn't have left you)

She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams

She wants the best of me

She wants some security

But now I got to leave

Chasin' ghosts

Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)

(I shouldn't have left you)

Been three months on the road and I

Don't know when I'll be back by your side

Take care 'cause you know that I'll be alright

Don't cry anymore 'cause it kills inside

Love-- Love kills inside

Still-- Still I gots to ride

I-95 'til it's time to shine

And cash in those checks and kick one last rhyme

At night when I try to sleep; I hear the amplifiers ringin' so deep

Keepin' me up; tryin' to make some heat

I know I'm goin' crazy but she lets me be

Yeah, she lets me be; She sees somethin' in me

Asked her once if she'd come with me

Last night Chicago; next up: D.C

She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams

She wants the best of me

She wants some security

But now I got to leave

Chasin' ghosts

Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)

(I shouldn't have left you)

She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams

She wants the best of me

She wants some security

But now I got to leave

Chasin' ghosts

Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)

(I shouldn't have left you)

Northbound with a brand new sound

Ain't lookin' back it's too late now

I drop calls every week in hopes you somehow

Stayed around though I couldn't do the same

You blame the fates and with the lights turned on that I wasn't the same

That I was caught in the game; too busy tryin' to make a name

But life's too short; I only got today

So don't push me away when I say I can't stay

I'll be back to love you someday

My number's been called and they can't wait

Five minutes 'til I made it on stage

'Til I made it on stage; Mayday's all the rage

So I'll ride the wave until I crash and burn

And hope you're still there when that bus return

She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams

She wants the best of me

She wants some security

But now I got to leave

Chasin' ghosts

Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)
