Ghost Blues

Intro: My Old dog misses me so To the beach or the dog park, he don t want to go No, he lies there waiting at the foot of my bed Because he knows I m right there even though I m dead You late husband, that would be me I ve been gone so long I m just a faint memory I ve been disparaged in passing by your friends late at night I blew out the candles on em, it served em right The day that I died, I knew I was toast Next day I was hanging out with Marley s ghost Help this father, he s a friend of mine That old Cain can t keep from crying At my memorial service there was quite a turnout Some stayed away, hey, what was that all about? Tell me, didn t she love me, didn t he care? Nobody saw me out I was right there (I was doing a head count) Now I m out of the picture, yeah, I m off of the hook Just a chuck of time, that was all that it took Was it a shot from a gun, a slip of a knife? I don t know what killed me, Lord, it might have been life I had a few children, wrote a few songs I got some of it right and a lot of it wrong I bought a few houses, a few boats, a few cars Being a ghost you might as well be on Mars Cause you re so far off Being a ghost is, you re just in between Each and every day of the year is Halloween, yeah You re hanging around but you re not really there You re hovering over your own old easy chair Lord, I was hoping for heaven, that would ve been swell Cause being a ghost, Lord, it s just like being in hell You re hungry and you re tired and you can t get no rest An though I d settle for heaven, oblivion would be best I ve been flying around rattling chains Appearing in mirrors just to make you insane Making those noises in your house late at night, yeah I got to haunt you even though it ain t right My Old dog misses me so To the beach or the dog park, he don t want to go No, he lies there waiting at the foot of my bed Because he knows I m right there even though I m dead . . .
