lyrics

Well I'm sitting here remembering them days when I still wore your ring
Them hazy days so long ago, long before these hands started shaking
Well, it could have been the coffee or it could have been the crime
I don't know
And it's true they haven't caught me, but I'm still doing the time
Oh-ohhh

Because you're haunting me
You're in every blue-eyed stranger's face I see
Yes, you're haunting me
When you let me go you wouldn't let me be

Well, the last time we spoke we were stepping on that train to Carolina
You told me, don't worry, babe, I'll be back when the weather is finer
But seven years they came and went, it's always the same old song
You never know how good you got it, never know what luck you had till it's gone

Because you're haunting me
You're in every blue-eyed stranger's face I see
Yes, you're haunting me
When you let me go you wouldn't let me be

There's a ghost in my bedroom
There's a ghost in my bed
Ohhh...
And it's not that I don't want you
Just don't want you in my head no more
So I'll pack my lipstick, pack a bag
Pack my gun, I'm headed out the door
Going to hop that train, track you down
Clear the air, settle this old score

So now we're sitting, reminiscing on them days long before we were through
And I'm sorry that I shot that boy, but damn, he looked an awful lot like you
So I thank you for the coffee and I thank you for your time
And I'm glad I finally found you, and I'm glad you're doing fine
But I guess I better move a little further down that line
I just have one more thing to ask if I get out of this alive

Because you're haunting me
You're in every blue-eyed stranger's face I see
Yes, you're haunting me
When you let me go you wouldn't let me be

Won't you stop haunting me
You're in every blue-eyed stranger's face I see
Yes, you're haunting me
When you let me go you wouldn't let me be
