Turnpike Ghost Lyrics - Singles - Steel Train

I want to live like I did back then 

With the stars in my eyes 

And the blood from the heart of a pen 

With my hood pulled up 

In the light of the night 

I was smoke in the bed 

Like a ghost white light 

On the turnpike 

You didn't lift my world off me 

But you said to let it go 

So I did, now I see 

That my friends are gonna leave me 

If they don't believe that they can save me 

You don't have to live like that 

You don't have to live like that 

Like a bolt of lightning 

Your stoplight moves on 

And you wake up crying 

What's going on 

What's going on 

I'm waking up tired 

No god has appeared 

I never ever really 

Felt real faith in your fear 

You don't have to live like that 

You don't have to live like that 

I'm so sorry for the things I said 

For the light of me died 

When a part of her did 

Like a dream, it's a fear 

And it won't carry out 

I'm living easy 

Nightmare plant a seed 

In the garden of doubt 

You didn't lift my world off me 

But you said to let it go 

So I did, now I see 

That my friends are gonna leave me 

If they don't believe that they can save me 

You don't have to live like that 

You don't have to live like that 

Like a bolt of lightning 

Your stoplight moves on 

And you wake up crying 

What's going on 

What's going on 

I'm waking up tired 

No god has appeared 

And I never ever really 

Felt real faith in your fear 

Let me wash it away 

Let me wash it away 

You never ever really 

Felt real faith in your fear 

You don't have to live like that 

You don't have to live like that 

You don't have to live like that 

You don't have to live like that
