FAMILIAR

well there's a lot of ghosts down by the interstate
looking for a better place to hide
you can catch tem in your headlights
watch them fading in the twilight
and baby that's a beautiful disguise

and there's a man who likes to drive
down on the river road
just looking at the water makes him sad
he's got a picture in a locket
keeps it shoved down in his pocket
to remind him this old world ain't all that bad

yeah, something seems familiar
hey I think I've been this way before
yeah, something seems familiar
don't know what I'm waiting for

lately I've been thinking 'bout that desert town
or any place that's out beyond the rain
but man you know she's handing me blue sky
she's riding all the rockets in my brain

yeah, something seems familiar
hey I think I've been this way before
yeah, something seems familiar
don't know what I'm waiting for

it's blowing hard against these walls again
and man there's a hole somewhere
where the devil's get in but she lays
her hands on me and stops this wind again

do you remember black when we were crazy
man it was just dust and broken bones
but now she's sleeping while I'm burning
and I know I'm not deserving but she's
the best thing these old ghosts have ever known

yeah, something seems familiar
hey I think I've been this way before
yeah, something seems familiar
baby I've been waiting
