Ghosts Of The Past Lyrics

by 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

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e51322-eskimo_joe~ghosts_of_the_past_lyrics.html ]
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'r running
I'm walking all over your grave
Watch me now motherf*cker
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
