Track Insight / Lyrics
Midnight highway, lonely miles
Stray hound with a haunted smile
Tails drags on the cracked asphalt dark
Ghost riding shotgun, a phantom spark
Windows down, a chill up his spine
Feel the wind, but can't define
Where from, where to, just drift and roam
Dancing shadows, an endless home
Neon puddles painting the night
He sings a song, howling his plight
Riding solo, feeling alive
A rebel spirit, strong and wild
Ghost in the trunk, moving fast
A moving specter, an endless blast
Through the night, he'll never stop
Chasing something only known to him, a phantom top
He passed the diner where our eyes met once
Beneath the awning, our fleeting chance
A plate of scraps, a handout from a stranger
An act of kindness, in a world so danger
Still he remembers, though time went by
The kindness of a human, he couldn't deny
So he keeps moving, never looking back
Pursuing the memories of a brief connection, a patch
Neon puddles painting the night
He sings a song, howling his plight
Riding solo, feeling alive
A rebel spirit, strong and wild
Ghost in the trunk, moving fast
A moving specter, an endless blast
Through the night, he'll never stop
Chasing something only known to him, a phantom top
(Funky bass riff, horn stabs)
(Dog panting, highway hum)
Some say he's crazy, lost, just a stray
But he knows the freedom of the open way
He'll keep on running, through rain and through night
A ghost in the trunk, ready to ignite
Ghost in the trunk, moving fast
A moving specter, an endless blast
Through the night, he'll never stop
Chasing something only known to him, a phantom top
(Distant rumble of thunder, dog settling in the trunk)
Ghost rides on, the highway his bed
An endless journey, his spirit unsaid
Midnight hours, neon lights guide
In the trunk of a phantom ride.
