Rebel Ghost Girl

Met her at a crossroad dive

Dust on her boots

Ash on her lips

Tattoo halo on her thigh

Devil in her sway

Scripture in her hips

She laughs like breaking bottles

Kisses like she came to steal

Heat in that midnight throttle

Cold chrome sheen on her steel

She don't promise

She just pulls me in

Whispers

"You already mine"

Like original sin

Rebel ghost girl

In and out my world

Here

Then gone with the dawn

But she stays in my nerves

When I look in her eyes

I swear I see my own

Same cracked halo

Same outlaw soul

Rebel ghost girl

Ride or run

We twirl

Two wanted hearts in the dark

Same smoke Same swirl

She comes and she goes

But I ain't alone

'Cause behind those eyes

I see my outlaw soul

She slide through my shotgun door

Smell of rain Blood An cheap perfume

Leaves her jacket on my floor

Takes my breath

Then she clears the room

She bless my whiskey with her tongue

Lights my past like a cigarette

Every sin I ever done

She wear it like a velvet dress

She don't promise

She just lays that spell

Says

"You already lost"

And I know too well

Maybe we the same lost smoke

Two black hearts in the back of a patrol note

Maybe she a mirror with a wild grin

Showing me the rot and the gold in my skin

If she fade like heat off the hood at noon

I'm still branded by her touch

By that old tattoo

'Cause when I shut my eyes

I see that girl

Every scar in verse

She drifts like smoke through the pines at night

Her laugh's a blade

Cuts clean through the fight

I swear she ain't real

But she’s too much to fake

My outlaw heart beats for her ache

Rebel ghost girl

Where do you go

You haunt my world

You steal my soul

In your eyes

I see the same fire burn

We’re two lost spirits

Never meant to return

She rides the wind like a hymn unsung

Her voice tastes bitter

Whiskey on the tongue

A shadow in the holler

A storm in the air

I see her in my dreams

But she’s never there

Oh I’d give it all

But she takes what’s free

She’s the curse

She’s the prayer that unburies me

The river knows her name

It whispers her sins

The night bends for her

The story begins

I chase her shadow

She chases mine

We’re cursed to wander

Both out of time lost in the same verses,

She rides the wind like a stolen mare

Dust in her wake like she don’t care

Boots hit the ground

Silence breaks

Her shadow whispers

My heart aches

I see her there

I see her gone

A flicker of light then she moves on

Oh rebel ghost girl

You haunt me still

Your eyes tell stories this whiskey can’t kill

Same soul burning

Same outlaw flame

In your gaze

I see my name

She’s a knife in the dark

A song in the trees

Her laugh cuts sharp

It brings me to my knees

She don’t belong

Neither do I

Two lost spirits under southern skies

She’s here

She’s gone

A flash

A fade

I chase her shadow through the everglade

Oh rebel ghost girl

You haunt me still

Your eyes tell stories this whiskey can’t kill

Same soul burning

Same outlaw flame

In your gaze

I see my name,rebel Ghost Girl I see our souls are the same
