Prompt / Lyrics
[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

Sunny roots-rock groove in a Creedence spirit: jangly Telecaster riffs, warm Hammond organ pads, lazy backbeat drums, and a round bass walking under it all. Male vocals, relaxed rasp with stacked gang shouts on the title line. Verses stay easy and story-driven; chorus lifts with big harmonies, handclaps, and tambourine. Short twangy guitar fills answer key phrases, with a final double-chorus and ad-libbed nostalgia to fade., happy
