Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your boots are still by the back door Coffee cup stained on the sink Your jacket hangs like a question I answer each night with a drink [Chorus] It’s the ghost of your smile that haunts me More than your footsteps fading down that road I could outrun the law, outrun the county line But not the way you lit this broken soul Yeah, the ghost of your smile still owns me More than any promise I ever broke [Verse 2] That old screen door still does its cussin' When the wind comes leanin' on in I turn and say, "Baby, you’re early" Then remember how long it’s been [Chorus] It’s the ghost of your smile that haunts me More than your footsteps fading down that road I could outrun the law, outrun the county line But not the way you lit this broken soul Yeah, the ghost of your smile still owns me More than any promise I ever broke [Bridge] I’ve made peace with your leaving I’ve made war with my pride (oh yeah) But every time I start believing Your laughter cuts right through the night [Chorus] It’s the ghost of your smile that haunts me More than your footsteps fading down that road I could outrun the law, outrun the county line But not the way you lit this broken soul Yeah, the ghost of your smile still rides here In this empty bed, in this empty home [Outro] Your boots are still by the back door And I still walk around 'em slow
