Merle Haggard Ghost Story lyrics

I`ve seen how you tremble whenever he walks through your mind

Stirring up mem`ries that cloud up your eyes

Where the light of our love ought to shine

I know that he hurt you and hurt you so bad he must have been going insane

Now I finally learned how to hold you together when somebody mentions his name

He`s just a ghost story so don`t let him scare you he`s not really there like he seems

And tonight when I hold you I`ll hold you so close

I`ll love him right out of your dreams



I`m sure that he`s called you and told you that our love can`t last

But don`t you believe him cause honey he`s wrong he`s never been right in the past

So don`t let him haunt you and tell you those lies he just can`t admit that you`re free

The next time he calls you just hand me the phone and see if he`ll say that to me

He`s just a ghost story...

He`s just a ghost story...
