He said he had to stop, he hadn't had a drop of anything

Stronger than coffee in 10 months 3 weeks and 1 long day

He pushed away his plate and said, it's better late then never done

When it comes to gettin' right, it took a while but I saw the light



He said, some things, they cast long shadows

That I never will out run and everyday I spend a-livin'



The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong

Grab a chair 'cause the list is long

I can write you a country song

About the reasons I'll be going home



To a house full of memories

Things I wish I done differently

When I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong

The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong



He said, there's a spot of paint

And it just ain't the right shade

But it covers up the hole I've made

Where I broke my wrist the night she left



And there's a lot of friends

That I ain't never seen in a lot of years

Some are still hangin' 'round

In old pictures I just can't take down



He said some things

They cast long shadows

That I never will out run

And everyday I do battle



With the ghosts of all the things I've done wrong

Grab a chair 'cause the list is long

I can write you a country song

About the reasons I'll be going home



To a house full of memories

Things I wish I done differently

And when I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong

The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong



I got a heart full of memories

Things I wish I'd done differently

And when I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong

The ghosts of all the things I've done wrong



He said he had to stop

He hadn't had a drop of anything

Stronger than coffee in 10 months 3 weeks

And 1 long day
