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 sun shine

Since God knows when

Just waiting for the spring to come

Carry my burden

Carry my burden

And 'fore I left, they gave me a house

[Chorus]

Now hope is locked in the basement

Love is tied to the bed

My dreams are trapped in the attic

Memory was 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 to west

Drive it east to west

And I know that you'll get worried

But I'll be home one day

And I'll write the sweetest letters

Letting you know I'm safe

So I'll be home one day

And 'fore I left, they gave me a house

[Chorus]

Now hope is locked in the basement

Love is tied to the bed

My dreams are trapped in the attic

Memory was 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

Only try to get somewhere

Only try to get somewhere

And on my deathbed

I'll lay in happiness

Without any regrets

I'll be in that house again

I'll be in that house again

'fore I left, they gave me a house

[Chorus]

Now hope is locked in the basement

Love is tied to the bed

My dreams are trapped in the attic

Memory was found dead

So I burn it down

My old haunted house

Before I leave, I'll take this house

Get hope out the basement

Take love out the bed

Get my dreams out the attic

Memory will live again

I'll build it up

This old haunted house
