Ghosts in the Pines

I used to run through those haunted hills

With Jamie's hand in mine

We'd chase the shadows, break the rules

Left our names carved in the pines

Now I drive past alone at night

And I swear I see your light

In every echo, in every song

You're still there

Those haunted hills know all my secrets

Every promise that I couldn't keep

Those haunted hills hold all my regrets

Singing lullabies to help me sleep

I left a piece of me up there

In the cold mountain air

Those haunted hills, you're everywhere

Mom said don't go past the gate

Where the old church burned down

But we went anyway that fall

Found love in that ghost town

Now the branches whisper your name

And I'm never quite the same

In every wind, in every call

You're still there

Those haunted hills know all my secrets

Every promise that I couldn't keep

Those haunted hills hold all my regrets

Singing lullabies to help me sleep

I left a piece of me up there

In the cold mountain air

Those haunted hills, you're everywhere

Maybe ghosts are just memories

That won't let us go

Maybe I'm the one still haunting you

In a place you'll never know

Those haunted hills know all my secrets

Every dream I couldn't reach

Those haunted hills hold all my heartbeats

Like they're lessons trying to teach

I left a piece of me up there

And I'm leaving it there

Those haunted hills, I'm always there
