Upchurch – Ghost Ranch lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's smoke on a hill deep in the woods comin' from a run down cabin
The lights come on when the rain pours down and the tin roof's makin' racket
It has a tree stump burned with the lyrics of a song with no writer to be known
But it's only stormin' and past midnight when the Ghost Ranch lights come on

[Chorus]
And they purge to the sound of a banjo pickin'
And the pictures hit the floor into little glass pieces
And the dogs all bark when there's no one there
At a silhouetted man with a piercin' stare
And they don't die down 'til the sun comes up
Yeah, they whisper in my ear tellin' me I'm the one
When the Ghost Ranch lights come on
Come on
When the Ghost Ranch lights come on
Come on, come on

[Verse 2]
Sleepy hollow, old Coke bottles
Civil War coins found in my yard
Footsteps walk hard on my catwalk
Through these sound waves they steady talk
And it sounds like a time from the past I can't explain
Not unless you're from the 60's on Cadillacs and cocaine
The realm that got me was a burnin' ring of fire
Now there's a ring around my ranch and I'm forever stuck inside

[Chorus]
And we purge to the sound of a banjo pickin'
The pictures hit the floor into little glass pieces
The dogs all bark when there's no one there
I'm the silhouetted man with a piercin' stare
And we won't die down 'til the sun comes up
And I'ma whisper in your ear and tell you you're the one
Watch the Ghost Ranch lights come on
Come on
Watch the Ghost Ranch lights come on
Whoa
Whoa
