Ghost of Regret
(Toni Land ©2018)
Hey lay down the whiskey
Lay down the guns
If time could talk stead of running you down
It’d say let go the grudge and
Let go the ragin’
time a creepin up without a sound
So you say I was your girlfriend
You’ll have some more
Stop mining those highs and lows
Stop claiming you’re ruined
Leave room for improvin
Everybody paid up, nobody owes
Face to face
Fact to fact
Time to forget
The ghost of regret
So we didn’t make the finish
Didn’t pass the test
Somethings don’t need flyin’ colors
Don’t need my forgivin’
Just call it living
Pull yourself right out of the cellar
Face to face
Fact to fact
Time to forget
The ghost of regret who who
Get up in the mornin
Buy some pretty things
Turn this ole shack into a home
Dance in the kitchen
Find things that need some fixin
Quit scaring yourself when you’re alone
Face to face
Fact to fact
Time to forget
The ghost of regret
