lyrics

In a run down house a 100 miles from town
Sitting in a 100 year old chair
Spends most of his days just rocking away
It's been 100 years since he’s been anywhere

There’s a run down still a 100 yards from the back porch
Hidden among the birch trees
Some folks swear they can hear it hummin’
Others say it’s just a midnight breeze

But oh if it were up to me we'd burn that place to the ground
Oh if it were up to me he'd be gone
Oh if it were up to me we'd be rid of that ghost
'Cause it's the only way that we would
Only way that we could move on

If the night is still and the moon is high
You can hear Joe whistle a hymn
He’ll fill at least 100 jars with that shine
'Fore the sheriff makes his way on back again
It was a night like this a 100 years ago
When the sheriff caught Joe by surprise
He reached for his piece but the sheriff was quick
Caught Joe right between the eyes

An oh if it were up to me we'd burn that place to the ground
Oh if it was up to me he'd be gone
Oh if it was up to me we'd be rid of that ghost
'Cause it's the only way that we could
Only way that we could move on

An oh if it were up to me we'd burn that place to the ground
Oh if it were up to me he'd be gone
Oh if it were up to me we'd be rid of that ghost
'Cause it's the only way that we could
Only way that we could move on
