GEOFF'S GHOST
Verse 1:
I knew Geoff since he was 13 years old
We ran together till the demons took hold
He partied the week before he done himself in
Penned a note saying he’d run out of sins
Verse 2:
He left his belongings behind at my place
A scatter of clothes, a battered suitcase
The note said the suitcase goes to his mother
And everything else, don’t even bother
Pre-Chorus:
I’m trying to sleep but he’s out there thrashing
Crashing and banging, drinking and laughing
Singing and swinging till the dawn’s breaking light
Chorus:
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Is dancing tonight
Verse 3:
Old habits die hard, weary bones need rest
I wake up to the smell of his cursed cigarettes
My wallet’s missing 20s and my liquor’s running low
Sometimes I swear that suitcase glows
Pre-Chorus:
I’m trying to sleep but he’s out there thrashing
Crashing and banging, drinking and laughing
Singing and swinging till the dawn’s breaking light
Chorus:
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Is dancing tonight
Verse 4:
His mother ignored him all the time he was alive
But she plays that grief card now that Geoff has died
She came for the suitcase to see what’s inside
I heard that woman scream, and I heard that woman cry
Verse 5:
Did a son love his mother?
She left with no hope
Inside that suitcase
Was the last piece of rope
Pre-Chorus:
I’m trying to sleep but he’s out there thrashing
Crashing and banging, drinking and laughing
Singing and swinging till the dawn’s breaking light
Chorus:
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Is dancing tonight
Is dancing tonight
FORD MOTEL
Chorus:
The sun shines through the windshield at the Ford Motel
it might be Sunday morning but who can tell
Just give me pavement and rubber and the radio
Another tank of gas and away I go
I can”t tell you how good the road makes me feel
(let”s drive)
Verse 1:
keep a couple of clean shirts back in the trunk
I work a few days when I need a buck
Modern-day drifter with my faithful steed
This trusty old mustang is all that I need
If I ever get lonely got a place to go
Pretty little filly right down the road
Chorus:
So when the sun shines through the windshield at the Ford Motel
It might be Sunday morning but who can tell
Just give me pavement and rubber and the radio
Another tank of gas and away I go
I can’t tell you how good the road makes me feel
Bridge:
Everybody says hey how can this be
I can't be you I can only be me
Takes a little bit to let it all go
But when you do the wheels start to roll
Chorus:
So let the sun shines through the windshield at the Ford Motel
It might be sunday morning but who can tell
Just give me pavement and rubber and the radio
Another tank of gas and away i go
I can”t tell you how good the road makes me feel
I can”t tell you how good this road makes me feel
At the Ford Motel
At the Ford Motel
Down at the Ford Motel
The Ford Motel
