Tasty Tunes [Songs] - Originals

Lyrics:

Must have been the rust on the bolts,
Holding that license plate.
Stops me in my tracks,
And I can hear you crying yesterday.
I turn back the days,
As I unwind the screws.
And everyone echoes,
Baby boy, you're bound to lose.

But I don't need them,
They were never mine.
Heard him saying...

That the ghost of Charlie Russell,
Paints up that Montana sky.
And the ghost in the bottle,
Well I left him behind.

Thousand miles of that old blacktop,
Stretched out in front of me.
And I've got everything I've ever owned,
Loaded down in this old SUV.
I drowned a ghost in the canyon,
Thrown off a rocky ledge.
My days are running out on me,
And I'm getting close to the edge.

Can't be certain,
That you never tried.
Heard her saying...

That the ghost of Charlie Russell,
Paints up that Montana sky.
And the ghost in the bottle,
Well I left him behind.

And we might be the worst opponents,
Or we might be the best friends.
One more drink and I might have to go my darling,
But I'm riding my way out on the wind.

Lord, I'm riding my way out on the wind.

I'm gone, I'm leaving here today.
(I'm gone, I'm leaving here today.)
There's nothing left here for us,
And my roots have blown away.
(Roots have blown away)

I ain't stayin', I sure ain't changing,
At least not as much as you.
You kill my my demons baby,
My angels all die too.

Won't be buried,
In your granite soul.
Said, "Remember..."

That the ghost of Charlie Russell,
Paints up that Montana sky.
And the ghost in the bottle,
Well I left him behind.
