[Chorus 1]
He said he had to stop
He hadn't had a drop of anything
Stronger than coffee in 10 months
3 weeks and 1 long day
[Verse 1]
He pushed away his plate and said
It's better late then never done
When it comes to getting right
It took a while but I saw the light
[Chorus 2]
He said, some things, they cast long shadows
That I never will outrun
And everyday I spend a-living
The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong
Grab a chair because the list is long
I can write you a country song
About the reasons I'll be going home
[Chorus 3]
To a house full of memories
Things I wish I done differently
When I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong
The ghosts of all the things that I've done wrong
[Verse 2]
He said, there's a spot of paint
And it just ain't the right shade
But it covers up the hole I've made
Where I broke my wrist the night she left
And there's a lot of friends
That I am not never seen in a lot of years
Some are still hanging around
In old pictures I just can't take down
[Chorus 2]
He said some things
They cast long shadows
That I never will out run
And everyday I do battle
With the ghosts of all the things I've done wrong
Grab a chair cause the list is long
I can write you a country song
About the reasons I'll be going home
[Chorus 3]
[Chorus 3]
I got a heart full of memories
Things I wish I'd done differently
And when I'm feeling weak, they keep me strong
The ghosts of all the things I've done wrong
