Lyrics

Broken down at the shoulder of the road
Thumbin' for a ride as I'm shakin' off the cold
Just a few more miles and I might've made it home at last
Be there with my friends, talk about the past
My mistakes, they have always paved the way
Direction of life, stories of the day
But now I'm gonna fade
Ghost of those days
Now I'm gonna fade
Specter of things that changed
Now I'm gonna fade
Face without a name
Now I'm gonna fade
The streets won't be the same
Nights in jail with black eyes and busted teeth
Cold steel bars, flip flops, and a cot where I can sleep
No more cigarettes, no one to curl up with
Muttering suicidal thoughts underneath my breath
All I want in this nightmare I call life
Was to ride the road with stories told, an outlaw way of life
But now I'm gonna fade
Ghost of those days
Now I'm gonna fade
Specter of things that changed
Now I'm gonna fade
Face without a name
Now I'm gonna fade
The streets won't be the same
Now I'm gonna fade
Ghost of those days
Now I'm gonna fade
Specter of things that changed
Now I'm gonna fade
Face without a name
Now I'm gonna fade
The streets won't be the same
I've been down a hard road or two
Taught myself to survive and how to sing the blues
Trouble bound, been for all my life
Headin' down a lonely road, paved with pain and strife
Trampin' round and headin' to and fro
I'll stick around for another drink, but then I gotta go
Now I'm gonna fade
Ghost of those days
Now I'm gonna fade
Specter of things that changed
Now I'm gonna fade
Face without a name
Now I'm gonna fade
The streets won't be the same
Whiskey bottles broken on my floor
Grab my bag and hat and headin' out the kitchen door
Love I've lost still lives within my mind
Prayin' for a good night's sleep, but that seems hard to find
Every day is a fight with all my pain
I was born to cry, forever driftin' in the rain
But now I'm gonna fade
Ghost of those days
Now I'm gonna fade
Specter of things that changed
Now I'm gonna fade
Face without a name
Now I'm gonna fade
The streets won't be the same
