HOW FAR DO YOU WANDER (TO CATCH UP WITH YOUR GHOST?) words/music: bill mallonee

I can still see ‘em... loading the wreck
of that pick-up truck...with what we had left
luck left the table...the game wasn’t even close
how far do you wander...to catch up with your ghost?

I can still see ‘em...shakin’ their heads
on the waves of depression and drowning in debt
closing in on something with every passing fence post
how far do you wander...to catch up with your ghost?

Bankers & politicians...grin & shake hands
hawks in a war room...making dark plans
violence is a drug...and we’ve all had a dose
how far do you wander...to catch up with your ghost?

The world’s a getaway car...devil’s at the wheel
engine is seizing...tires they squeal
the world is a knife-blade...laid on your throat
how far do you wander...to catch up with your ghost?

How far do you ramble? how far do you roam?
Is there a place left on earth...you can call your own?
If Life is a song, then who stole the notes?
how far do you wander...to catch up with your ghost?
