Ghosts Of The Great Highway (Part 1)



Cassius Clay was hated more than Sonny Liston
Some like KK Downing more than Glenn Tipton
Some like Jim Nabors, some Bobby Vinton
I like 'em all.

I put my feet up on the coffee table,
I stay up late watching cable
I like old movies with Clark Gable
Just like my dad does.

Just like my dad did when he was home,
Staying up late, staying up alone.
Just like my dad did when he was thinking
Oh, how fast the years fly.

I buried my first victim when I was nineteen
Went through her bedroom and the pockets of her jeans
Found her letters that said so many things
That really hurt me bad.

I never breathed her name again
But I like to dream about what could have been,
I never heard her calls again
But I like to dream.
