Merle Haggard - Ghost Story lyrics

rate me

(Joe Allen)

I've seen how you tremble

Whenever he walks through your mind

Stirring up mem'ries that cloud up your eyes

Where the light of our love ought to shine.

I know that he hurt you and hurt you so bad

He must have been going insane

Now I finally learned how to hold you together

When somebody mentions his name.

He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams.

I'm sure that he's called you

And told you that our love can't last

But don't you believe him 'cause honey he's wrong

He's never been right in the past.

So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies

He just can't admit that you're free

The next time he calls you just hand me the phone

And see if he'll say that to me.

He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams.

He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you

He's not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close

I'll love him right out of your dreams...
