Ginstrings ~ Haunted House
Going back to where I started; Going back to where I’m from
Gonna pack these old dreams up
Oh I’m gonna run, Oh I’m gonna run..
And I ain’t seen the sunshine, since God knows when
Just waiting for the spring to come
To carry my burden, To carry my burden
*Chorus*
And before I left, they gave me a house
Now hope is locked in the basement, love is tied to the bed
My dreams are trapped in the attic, memories found dead
So I burn it down, my old haunted house
There’s an old black motorcycle, in the back of the shed
Gonna build it up, drive it east or west, drive it east or west
And I know you’ll get worried, if I’ll be home one day
And I’ll write the sweetest letters, to let you know I’m safe
Cause I’ll be home one day
*Chorus*
And before I left, they gave me a house
Now hope is locked in the basement, love is tied to the bed
My dreams are trapped in the attic, memories found dead
So I burn it down, my old haunted house
You know life is a journey, you can go anywhere
Don’t deny my absence; I’m only trying to get somewhere
I’m only trying to get somewhere
And on my deathbed, I will lay in happiness
Without any regrets, I’ll be in that house again; I’ll be in that house again
*Chorus*
And before I left, they gave me a house
Now hope is locked in the basement, love is tied to the bed
My dreams are trapped in the attic, memories found dead
So I burn it down, my old haunted house
And before I leave, I’ll take this house
And that hope out of the basement, get love out of bed
And my dreams out of the attic, memories will live again
So I’ll build it up, this old haunted house
~End~
