Ghosts of the Past Songtext

von Eskimo Joe

Johnny took a ticket to London
Jenny took a ticket to Spain
Jenny fell in love with a movie star
And ran away to live in LA
I stayed home to count my luck and
Ended up living like a garbage truck I
Can't throw away these useless things
That have no place but I try
And I try
To disregard that lonely life
But they hang onto your heart like a ghost
Like a ghost
I keep running
I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running
I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
Hear the ghosts of the past sing
Can I get peace in the distance
Can I get further away
I saw you in a suit last Saturday night
And man I gotta say you have aged
So tell me what I look like in your eyes
Am I the same enemy that you despise
Well five years should've been long enough
To forget the past but I try
And I tried
To disregard that lonely life
But they hang onto your heart
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
I keep running
I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running
I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
Hear the ghosts of the past sing
See me now while you're running
I'm walking all over your grave
Watch me now motherfucker
I'm walking all over your grave
So keep running
Keep running
Cuz I'm chasing you down like a memory
Keep running
Keep running
But you never get away from your history
So keep running
You keep running
Cuz they're chasing you down like a memory
I keep running
You keep running
But you never get away from your history
So keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past sing
