Lyrics

Lay to Rest the Ghost, by Lauryn Shapter

Hey darlin’ I just found a couple of bucks
Why don’t you go and gas up the truck
With a little bit of faith and a whole lot of luck
Bet we can make it outta here

Chorus:
When the sheriff comes ‘round looking for you
Like we know he’s wont to do
Won’t be anyone to answer the door
‘Cause we won’t live here anymore

Buried in my drawer there’s that last bottle of shine
We said we’d open when the good lord gave us a sign
We’re gonna make it love, gonna be just fine
If we can make it outta here

Chorus:
When the debtors come ‘round looking for pay
We’ll be well along our way
Won’t be anyone to answer the door
‘Cause we won’t live here anymore

And we’ll keep on driving ‘til we reach the coast
We can sleep out under the stars
On a bed in the hidden pines gonna lay to rest the ghost
Silent redwoods standing guard

Tell me I’m a dreamer, tell me I’m a fool
But don’t you tell me to live by someone else’s rules
Don’t need their riches, babe, don’t want their jewels
I just want to make it outta here

Chorus:
When the demons come ‘round looking for me
Trying to bring me to my knees
Won’t be anyone to let ‘em in
Ain’t going back to where we’ve been

So put this thing in gear and point it west
I’ll put the pistol in the pocket of my vest
Bring along those tattered dreams, leave behind the rest
So we can make it outta here

Chorus:
When the wolves come ‘round looking for blood
Draggin’ our good name through the mud
It won’t do any good to bust down the door
‘Cause we won’t live here anymore

No it won’t do any good to bust down the door
‘Cause we won’t live here anymore
I don’t want to live here anymore
Ain’t gonna live here anymore
