Ghost of I-95

Verse
South of Savannah just off exit 6
There’s a small white cross in the dirt that’s easy to miss
It marks the place where a good man met his fate
His body was gone but his spirit’s awake
He wanders the highway following that white line

Chorus
He was a traveling man working hard to provide
Loved his children, didn’t tell them good bye
Where was the mercy for the Ghost of I95

Verse
The endless road has secrets to tell
Sometimes you’ll hear him crying at the place where he fell
It was a drunk fool in a big sedan
Never had a ghost of a chance

Chorus
Mama went running with tears in her eyes
But that old road took him before his time
Tell me where was the mercy for the Ghost of I95

Bridge
In the cold and rain while the thunder cracked
When his body left his soul came back

Verse driving the highway tonight to the cross no one sees
I know he’s out here, he’s been waiting for me
So lay your head down daddy
I got a child of my own
The circle’s unbroken
You can finally go home
