about

The Ghost was inspired by Nat Lort-Nelson’s time on the road playing punk rock. The song is an exorcism of hard times gone by and it was written as an anthem to keep his spirits high.

lyrics

Goodbye Wichita I’m heading back to my western home
I’m gonna ride on the passenger side and lean my head on the radio
I’m waiting for a sign from above or a rumble from down below.
Take a wheel and a grip of steel to see the sky kiss the coast

So lay me down, rest the ghost
so lay me down my sweet road
If I die now then I’ll die young
So lay me down rest the ghost

I feel a loss, I feel a loss, I'm yearning for a place I know (oh a place I know for us)
If I'm the ghost if I'm the ghost, come and feel my body's pulse (remind me of who I was)
We got the driver, we got the speed
We got the metal, we got the need
There's a city on the western coast
That harbors whom I love the most

You’ve had a long damn night,
You got a ghost inside
