Ghosts of Yesterday

Verse 1: In a small town bar, where the neon glows, Sits a soldier of fortune, with tales that he knows. His heart’s been hardened by the trials of life, Lost in the echoes of a never-ending strife. Pre-Chorus: He drinks to forget, but the memories stay, Of the ones he’s lost, and the price he’s paid. In the still of the night, the shadows creep, Reminding him of promises he couldn’t keep. Chorus: Ghosts of yesterday, haunt his weary soul, In the quiet moments, where the stories unfold. Through the fields of sorrow, and the winds of pain, He rides through the darkness, like a runaway train. Verse 2: He’s got a scar over his eye, from the battles fought, A testament to the lessons life has taught. With a locket in his pocket, and a rifle by his side, He’s searching for redemption, on this long, lonesome ride. Pre-Chorus: The road is long, and the night is deep, But he won’t give in, he won’t fall asleep. He hears their voices in the howling wind, Calling him back, to where it all begins. Chorus: Ghosts of yesterday, haunt his weary soul, In the quiet moments, where the stories unfold. Through the fields of sorrow, and the winds of pain, He rides through the darkness, like a runaway train. Bridge: In the moonlight shadows, he finds his peace, A fleeting moment where the torment ceases. With every mile, he’s leaving behind, The weight of the world, and the ties that bind. Chorus: Ghosts of yesterday, haunt his weary soul, In the quiet moments, where the stories unfold. Through the fields of sorrow, and the winds of pain, He rides through the darkness, like a runaway train. Outro: At the break of dawn, he’ll ride on still, Through the valleys deep, and over every hill. With the ghosts of yesterday, forever in his mind, He’ll chase the horizon, till the end of time.
