Ghost Story Lyrics - Merle Haggard

I've seen how you tremble whenever he walks through your mind 

Stirring up memories that cloud up your eyes 

Where the light of our love ought to shine 

I know that he hurt you and hurt you so bad he must have been going insane 

Now I finally learned how to hold you together when somebody mentions his name 

He's just a ghost story so don't let him scare you he's not really there like he seems 

And tonight when I hold you I'll hold you so close 

I'll love him right out of your dreams 

I'm sure that he's called you and told you that our love can't last 

But don't you believe him cause honey he's wrong he's never been right in the past 

So don't let him haunt you and tell you those lies he just can't admit that you're free 

The next time he calls you just hand me the phone and see if he'll say that to me 

He's just a ghost story 

He's just a ghost story
