Lyrics
VERSE
Traveling up to Mt Washington's peak
To our spot overlooking the city
In a little gray Plymouth with a pack of smokes
Your feet hanging out the window
CHORUS
The ghost of your granddaddy lived deep in you
Now the ghost of you will follow me home
All's left are my memories of you and
Your red hair, green eyed Irish charm to carry on
VERSE
We'd talk about life and we'd talk of love
And laugh at the thought of growing old
Sing at the top of our lungs to Jimmy Eat World
As if we could conquer our own
CHORUS
The ghost of your granddaddy lived deep in you
Now the ghost of you will follow me home
All's left are my memories of you and
Your red hair, green eyed, Irish charm to carry on
BRIDGE
You said you'd been thinking about leaving
Heading out to find yourself west
I never knew that I'd seen the last of you
All the good ones go way too soon
CHORUS
The ghost of your granddaddy lived deep in you
Now the ghost of you will follow me home
All's left are my memories of you and
Your red hair, green eyed Irish charm to carry on
CHORUS
The ghost of your granddaddy lived deep in you
Now the ghost of you will follow me home
All's left are my memories of you and
Your red hair, green eyed Irish charm to carry on
