Ghosts I Can't Outrun is the whiskey-soaked confession — He's singing through an old wound he hasn't told anyone about, while the girl who could actually heal it sits two tables away, watching him come undone one verse at a time. Original by Saddle Storms.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

I picked this song to slow things down

Told the crowd it's soul-searching time

But truth is I just needed a reason

To let her cross my mind

[Verse 2]

Whiskey's got a way of loosening The doors

I keep locked tight

She walks back in on a melody

Like she never said goodnight

[Pre-Chorus]

I hate that I still sing for her

I hate that it still shows

But the crowd don't know the difference

Between a broken heart and a good show

[Chorus]

These are ghosts I can't outrun

Not with whiskey,

not with sound

Every sad song brings her back around

I keep playing like I'm free

But she's still living here in me

Ghosts I can't outrun

[Verse 3]

There's a girl out past the stage lights

Watching me come undone

She don't know I'm fighting shadows

Or that she's the one who could outshine 'em,

one by one

[Chorus]

These are ghosts I can't outrun

Not with whiskey,

not with sound

Every sad song brings her back around

I keep playing like I'm free

But she's still living here in me

Ghosts I can't outrun

[Bridge]

Maybe the answer ain't in forgetting

Maybe it's choosing who stays

Maybe I've been singing to the wrong girl

For far too many days

[Chorus - stripped down, vulnerable]

These are ghosts I can't outrun

But I'm done letting them win

Next song I play is a different color

It's time to let the right one in

[Outro]

No more ghosts tonight...

No more running blind.
