Old Haunts Lyrics - American Slang - The Gaslight Anthem

Oh Cherry Bomb, you are a mystery 

Exploding sparkling quiet nights 

My teenage heart pumped all my misery, baby 

To fingertips that might ignite 

And all along you knew my story, didn't you? 

And all night long I carried yours 

Your blood was mixed with wine and robbery, baby 

And left us always wanting more 

So don't sing me your songs about the good times 

Those days are gone and you should just let them go 

And god help the man who says ["If you'd have known me when..."] 

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts 

[(Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts)]

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Cherry Bomb, your love is surgery 

Removing what you don't regard 

And every breath felt like a funeral, baby 

While you were packing up your car 

And with the window down, I hear you're tired now 

You borrowed everything and wore all your old welcomes out 

Well, shame on you, my love, you sold your youth away 

Memories for sinking ships that never would be saved 

So don't sing me your songs about the good times 

Those days are gone and you should just let them go 

God help the man who says ["If you'd have known me when..."] 

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts 

Old haunts are for forgotten ghosts 

And shame, shame, shame, shame on you 

You kept your mind and heart and youth just like a tomb 

Shame, shame, shame, shame on you 

You kept your mind and heart and youth just like a tomb

Just like a tomb 

Just like a tomb 

Just like a tomb 

And don't sing me your songs about the good times 

Those days are gone and you should just let them go 

So god help the man who says ["If you'd have known me when..."] 

Old haunts are for all those ghosts 

And don't sing me your songs about the good times 

Those days are gone and you should just let them go 

And god help the man who says ["If you'd have known me when..."] 

God help the man who says ["If you'd have known me when..."] 

God help this man, oh babe if you'd have known me when 

Old haunts are all we've ever known
