Small Town Ghosts

[Instrumental] [Verse 1] I toss and turn as the sun sinks low Countin' regrets that won't let go Your ghost wanders the town we once knew Here ... somewhere down in Georgia [Verse 2] For the love that's lost, the cost is real A dusty road that we walked down Wearing our smiles, now it's just frowns The whispering pines hold secrets we spilled Gone ... somewhere down in Georgia down in Georgia [Chorus] So here's a toast to the dreams we had Just another dream left unfulfilled Remembering your laugh, so soft and sweet Where the river bends and our love once grew Drifting ... somewhere down in Georgia [Verse 3] The moon hangs low, its fading light Knows the truth of that July night We drew our names in the sand, so sweet Now lost ... somewhere down in Georgia ... somewhere down in Georgia So I'll raise my glass to the love that's gone Drown the heartache and the quiet pain Hurting ... somewhere down in Georgia [Verse 4] The stars up high, their shine is not the same Ever since the night I whispered your name I hear the horn of an old freight train Echo in the night and I curse the pain Your light's burnt out, but I still burn for you In a roadside bar, playing old sad tunes [Pre-Chorus] That smile of yours, girl, it would light up a room Now I'm just sit in the dark and the gloom tunes That smile of yours, it would light up a room Now I just sit in the dark and the gloom [Chorus] So here's a toast to the dreams we had Just another dream left unfulfilled Remembering your laugh, so soft and sweet Where the river bends and our love once grew Wandering ... somewhere down in Georgia [Verse 5] Barstool's etched with stories untold Of heartache and dreams that we once did hold I'm drowning the past with each shot I pour But I can't forget who I'm drinkin' for [Chorus] So here's a toast to the dreams we had Just another dream left unfulfilled Remembering your laugh, so soft and sweet Where the river bends and our love once grew Crying ... somewhere down in Georgia pour But I can't forget who I'm drinkin' for [Chorus] So here's a toast to the dreams we had Just another dream left unfulfilled Remembering your laugh, so soft and sweet Where the river bends and our love once grew Crying ... somewhere down in Georgia
