She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams
She wants the best of me
She wants some security
But now I got to leave
Chasin' ghosts
Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)
(I shouldn't have left you)

She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams
She wants the best of me
She wants some security
But now I got to leave
Chasin' ghosts
Chasin' ghosts

Been three months on the road and I
Don't know when I'll be back by your side
Take care 'cause you know that I'll be alright
Don't cry anymore 'cause it kills inside
Love-- Love kills inside
Still-- Still I gots to ride
I-95 'til it's time to shine
And cash in those checks and kick one last rhyme
At night when I try to sleep; I hear the amplifiers ringin' so deep
Keepin' me up; tryin' to make some heat
I know I'm goin' crazy but she lets me be
Yeah, she lets me be; She sees somethin' in me
Asked her once if she'd come with me
Last night Chicago; next up: D.C
She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams
She wants the best of me
She wants some security
But now I got to leave
Chasin' ghosts
Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)
(I shouldn't have left you)

She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams
She wants the best of me
She wants some security
But now I got to leave
Chasin' ghosts
Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)
(I shouldn't have left you)

Northbound with a brand new sound
Ain't lookin' back it's too late now
I drop calls every week in hopes you somehow
Stayed around though I couldn't do the same
You blame the fates and with the lights turned on that I wasn't the same
That I was caught in the game; too busy tryin' to make a name
But life's too short; I only got today
So don't push me away when I say I can't stay
I'll be back to love you someday
My number's been called and they can't wait
Five minutes 'til I made it on stage
'Til I made it on stage; Mayday's all the rage
So I'll ride the wave until I crash and burn
And hope you're still there when that bus return
She ain't 'bout chasin' dreams
She wants the best of me
She wants some security
But now I got to leave
Chasin' ghosts
Chasin' ghosts

(It's been a long time)
