Put the down payment on a dream
signed the lease but it’s not what it seems
Four walls, a roof one key to hide
The boast of being satisfied
Your ghost rides shotgun and whispers pretty lies
Every mile I hear another alibi
They echo in my mind and then rewind
Looping pain I can’t seem to leave behind
Spirits whispering through the breeze
I bought a mortgage on my soul
Wrote a check that you stole
Signed with red ink that never dries
Can’t stop the rage shooting from my eyes
Your ghost rides shotgun and whispers pretty lies
Every mile I hear another alibi
They echo in my mind and then rewind
Looping pain I can’t seem to leave behind
