Met her at a crossroad dive Dust on her boots Ash on her lips Tattoo halo on her thigh Devil in her sway Scripture in her hips She laughs like breaking bottles Kisses like she came to steal Heat in that midnight throttle Cold chrome sheen on her steel She don't promise She just pulls me in Whispers "You already mine" Like original sin Rebel ghost girl In and out my world Here Then gone with the dawn But she stays in my nerves When I look in her eyes I swear I see my own Same cracked halo Same outlaw soul Rebel ghost girl Ride or run We twirl Two wanted hearts in the dark Same smoke Same swirl She comes and she goes But I ain't alone 'Cause behind those eyes I see my outlaw soul She slide through my shotgun door Smell of rain Blood An cheap perfume Leaves her jacket on my floor Takes my breath Then she clears the room She bless my whiskey with her tongue Lights my past like a cigarette Every sin I ever done She wear it like a velvet dress She don't promise She just lays that spell Says "You already lost" And I know too well Maybe we the same lost smoke Two black hearts in the back of a patrol note Maybe she a mirror with a wild grin Showing me the rot and the gold in my skin If she fade like heat off the hood at noon I'm still branded by her touch By that old tattoo 'Cause when I shut my eyes I see that girl Every scar in verse She drifts like smoke through the pines at night Her laugh's a blade Cuts clean through the fight I swear she ain't real But she’s too much to fake My outlaw heart beats for her ache Rebel ghost girl Where do you go You haunt my world You steal my soul In your eyes I see the same fire burn We’re two lost spirits Never meant to return She rides the wind like a hymn unsung Her voice tastes bitter Whiskey on the tongue A shadow in the holler A storm in the air I see her in my dreams But she’s never there Oh I’d give it all But she takes what’s free She’s the curse She’s the prayer that unburies me The river knows her name It whispers her sins The night bends for her The story begins I chase her shadow She chases mine We’re cursed to wander Both out of time lost in the same verses, She rides the wind like a stolen mare Dust in her wake like she don’t care Boots hit the ground Silence breaks Her shadow whispers My heart aches I see her there I see her gone A flicker of light then she moves on Oh rebel ghost girl You haunt me still Your eyes tell stories this whiskey can’t kill Same soul burning Same outlaw flame In your gaze I see my name She’s a knife in the dark A song in the trees Her laugh cuts sharp It brings me to my knees She don’t belong Neither do I Two lost spirits under southern skies She’s here She’s gone A flash A fade I chase her shadow through the everglade Oh rebel ghost girl You haunt me still Your eyes tell stories this whiskey can’t kill Same soul burning Same outlaw flame In your gaze I see my name,rebel Ghost Girl I see our souls are the same
