Ghosts in the Radio

Leaned back in the car seat with the sun's heat and a six pack
And the crap work of a past tattoo artist boyfriend read live fast
And as the road cracked we acted like we were in on a secret
Under the summer sky on the highway made plans, acting like we believed it

We both would become runaways to Vegas, she could sing
And I'd deal blackjack and smoke cigarettes
As the slot machines would ring
But I knew she'd never do it, that night I kissed her when I left
And I drove the dream we shared
Right past the state line while she slept

Late night I hear the ghost on the radio
Last dance, I ain't never coming back
My love left a ghost in the radio
Can you hear that? Can you hear that?

My fingers were dirty from digging these graves
I was breaking my back for you
And I would have robbed all the banks in Georgia
If you had asked me to. I gave you the necklace
Gave you the earrings. Gave you the matching pendant
You said I was lazy. Said I was stupid. Said I would never get it
You're shutting the door and killing the lights
And turning the radio up
We're keeping it quiet so your ma can't hear us making love
I left on a Tuesday morning, packing while you slept
And I ain't missed you for a single second yet

Late night I hear the ghost on the radio
Last dance, I ain't never coming back
My love left a ghost in the radio
Can you hear that? Can you hear that?

Go where you want. You can't stay here. Hit the lights
Thank you and goodnight

Late night I hear the ghost on the radio
Last dance, I ain't never coming back
My love left a ghost in the radio
Can you hear that? Can you hear that?
