Ghost Bones

Parchment ghosts ride between sweetgrass and stars
Slipping forward on muddy roads and dusty cars
They shot for the moon, but their phantom autograph
Keeps their eyes looking back, Keeps their eyes looking back

Hallowed halls below celebrate the lottery
Hide the x's, Keep the dough under lock and key
But a five dollar bill will never pay the price
For a key to paradise, for a key to paradise

Give Bones to our Ghosts, Don't tie them to here below
Let them travel home
Give Bones to our Ghosts, Let them know you know
They paid with their souls, They paid with their souls

No sign the were here, No sign that they gave
No sign of the sacrifice they made

Words unrealized tie spirits to the earth
Break the shackles, give credit to their word
Hear their spirits moan for the people down below
Show spirit riders home, show spirit riders home

Give Bones to our Ghosts, Don't tie them to here below
Let them travel home
Give Bones to our Ghosts, Let them know you know
They paid with their souls, They paid with their souls
They paid with their souls, They paid with their souls
