Ghost of Good Times

It's been a few days more than several
Since you left me in the dark that night
Not a word do I remember
I was busy getting wrong and feeling alright
She was always so realistic
When I was delusional
She helped me find the doorway
Through my double wide vision down the hall
With my heart drowned in bourbon
And my brain bobbing in gin
I haven't seen the better half of me
Since I left the shallow end
Chasing down a lump of sentient with a high proof spirit
Nostalgia keeping you alive
Sometimes this heartache can make you feel so damn lonely
Like you're dancing dancing with the ghost of good times
I met her in the doctors lobby
We're both waiting there to see the same shrink
I asked her if she wanted to get a cocktail
She said I'll talk to you but honey I don't drink
And as we sat there sipping tea at the cafe
We had nothing in common but one thing
We're both in dire need of a doctor
Just to taste the verity one can bring
Chasing down a lump of sentient with a high proof spirit
Nostalgia keeping you alive
Sometimes this heartache can make you feel so damn lonely
Like you're dancing dancing with the ghost of good times
I went back to my bar room stupor
When sunlight came running through the door
There behind the smoky haze a lingering
A sight of beauty that could never be ignored
This vision was clear as crystal
And it made me feel new and free
'Cause nothing could ever compare to
True fine moments of clarity
Chasing down a lump of sentient with a high proof spirit
Nostalgia keeping you alive
With your heart in your shoes
As you're following your own stoned rhythm
Like you're dancing dancing with the ghost of good times
Like you're dancing like you're dancing with the ghost of good times
Like you're dancing dancing dancing with the ghost of good times
