Chasing Ghosts

You measure yourself
Through the eyes of the ones you love
Sometimes you've got to look back
So looking forward is a little clearer

Been a long run riding shotgun with the devil
Why am I still out here on the road?
I'm looking for a wiseman, with a good book in his hand
Said there's only one way he'll lead you home

Stop chasing ghosts (stop chasing ghosts)
Listen to your soul (listen to your soul)
Watch your needs at home
Stop chasing ghosts

I've been searching for a something my whole damn life
And everything that we've done, something still ain't right
The last summer I found myself in a field of stone (field of stone)
Down in North Mississippi, yeah, that's hollow ground
I found his name as the wind died down
And echoes from my past chilled my bone (chilled my bone)

And I swear I heard a whisper of a proud voice from beyond
Saying, "Son, your work here isn't done"

Been a long run riding shotgun with the devil
Why am I still out here on the road?
I'm looking for a wiseman, with a good book in his hand
Said there's only one way he'll lead you home

Stop chasing ghosts (stop chasing ghosts)
Listen to your soul (listen to your soul)
Watch your needs at home
Stop chasing ghosts

I might've got lost livin', I truly should've asked
If the route that I chose, I would miss a few paths
And the value of time with family would pass
There ain't no way to grasp what's gone in the past

Chasin' these ghosts a million miles from home
With a box full of photos in a bus bunk alone
Every bar, kept roamin', always stayin' on the go
I was even out of touch with you on the phone

Hard to stay so grounded when you stay so high
I bet I'd come right down if you said goodbye
Rather die with my memories and not with a dream
That I've been chasing so long, and it ain't what it seems

Been a long run riding shotgun with the devil
Why am I still out here on the road?
I'm lookin' for a wiseman, with a good book in his hand
Said there's only one way he'll lead you home

Stop chasing ghosts (stop chasing ghosts)
Listen to your soul (listen to your soul)
Watch your needs at home
Stop chasing ghosts

So high (so high), so low (so low)
Why am I on the road?
So high (so high), so low (so low)
Why am I chasing ghosts?
So high (so high), so low (so low)
Why am I on the road? (Yeah)
So high (so high), so low (so low)
Why am I chasing ghosts?
