Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Saw your name carved in a bleached-out sign
Half-buried in sand by the highway line
Crows on the wire
Eyes burning like mine
Wind said you left
But it never said why
[Chorus]
I’m the ghost of mile marker nine
Riding that ribbon ‘til the day I die
Leave my shadow on the yellow line
You can try to pass
But you can’t drive by
(you can’t drive by)
[Verse 2]
Rust-colored sky in the motel glass
One key
One bed
And a tank of gas
Cards on the table
Gun in the grass
Your perfume stuck in the rearview cracks
[Chorus]
I’m the ghost of mile marker nine
Riding that ribbon ‘til the day I die
Leave my shadow on the yellow line
You can try to pass
But you can’t drive by
(you can’t drive by)
[Bridge]
If you hear a low voice humming your sins
That’s just me
Babe
Riding the wind
If your hands shake when you touch that wheel
That’s the deal you made that night in the field
[Chorus]
I’m the ghost of mile marker nine
Riding that ribbon ‘til the day I die
Leave my shadow on the yellow line
You can try to pass
But you can’t drive by
(you can’t drive by, can’t drive by)
