The Ghost of a Good Man - Levi Stoker
Lyrics by:Levi Stoker
Composed by:Levi Stoker
Produced by:Levi Stoker
I look in the mirror and I don't know the face
Just a hollowed out shadow of a different place
I used to have mercy I used to have grace
Before the world turned into a cold bitter chase
The kindness I carried got buried in lime
Under the weight of the work and the hard-hitting time
I'm wearing the scars of the bridges I burned
Holding on to the lessons I wish I'd never learned
But I'm hauling the ghost of a good man around
Across a high desert and the hard frozen ground
He's heavy on my shoulders he's a chain on my soul
Trying to find water in a dry rotted hole
The devil may claim me but he's got to wait his turn
I'm the last bit of wick that refuses to burn
Still walking still breathing doing all that I can
Carrying the ghost of a good man
A law calls it justice a bank calls it debt
But the hunger in my belly is the sharpest thing yet
I slept in the ditches I fought in the rain
Trying to remember my own Christian name
They tried to erase me to beat me to death
But there's something in the bone that's stronger than rust
I might be a sinner with blood on my shirt
But I'm still the one digging the truth from the dirt
I'm hauling the ghost of a good man around
Across a high desert and the hard frozen ground
He's heavy on my shoulders he's a chain on my soul
Trying to find water in a dry rotted hole
The devil may claim me but he's got to wait his turn
I'm the last bit of wick that refuses to burn
Still walking still breathing doing all that I can
Carrying the ghost of a good man
She's screaming from inside telling me to rest
I ain't dead yet look into my eyes
I'm still the man yeah I'm hauling the ghost
Hauling the ghost of a good man around
Across a high desert and the hard frozen ground
He's heavy on my shoulders he's a chain on my soul
Trying to find water in a dry rotted hole
The devil may claim me but he's got to wait his turn
I'm the last bit of wick that refuses to burn
Still walking still breathing doing all that I can
Carrying the ghost of a good man
Don't let him die
I'll keep on walking
The ghost of a man
