[Verse 1]
Out on Netley Creek
Where the gravel meets the grass
We’d pull in slow
Dust rising
Like the weekend came at last
Old Rolly’s Haunted House
Leaning sideways by the trees
But the only ghosts around us
Were good stories on the breeze
[Chorus]
Everyone remembers Rolly’s Haunted House (hey!)
Rye and Coke
No ice
We’d pass that bottle round
Bonfires throwing sparks up
Dancing in the dark
Good friends
Family
Laughing clear and loud
Yeah
Everyone remembers Rolly’s Haunted House
[Verse 2]
Dad’s old truck in the lineup
Tailgate for a chair
He’d raise a toast to nothing
And to everyone there
He said
“Keep this fire burning
Long after I’m gone”
Now I feel him in the crackle
Singing softly through the song (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Everyone remembers Rolly’s Haunted House (sing it)
Rye and Coke
No ice
We’d pass that bottle round
Bonfires throwing sparks up
Dancing in the dark
Good friends
Family
Laughing clear and loud
Yeah
Everyone remembers Rolly’s Haunted House
[Bridge]
He’s in every flame that flickers
Every story getting bigger
Every arm thrown round a shoulder in the glow
When we’re shoulder-deep in laughter
That’s the ever-after
That’s the way he taught our little creek to flow
[Chorus]
Everyone remembers Rolly’s Haunted House
Rye and Coke
No ice
We’d pass that bottle round
Bonfires throwing sparks up
Dancing in the dark
Good friends
Family
Laughing clear and loud
Yeah
Everyone remembers Rolly’s Haunted House
And as long as we keep coming back
He’s here with us now
Everyone remembers Rolly’s Haunted House
