109

Lyrics

[verse] [male voice] Driving north through Ohio In the middle of nowhere A woman there on the side of the road She was frightened she was scared [change] Without a thought I pulled over I had room to spare To my surprise in the blink of an eye - - The woman wasn't there [verse] [male voice] I looked in every direction There was not a soul in sight I wondered if I had fallen asleep On this rainy summer night [change] By now my pulse was racing A chill ran down my spine I've never been one to believe in ghost - - this might have changed my mind [hook] [male voice] [hook melody whistling] [dark choir] oh whoa oh oh whoa oh whoa oh - oh, oh oh oh [verse] [male voice] I made it back to my car And I opened the door Staring at me from the passenger seat The same woman from before [change] My body it was frozen As she looked in my eyes Too in shock to be afraid - - So I just climbed inside [bridge] [male voice] She said don't you remember A night much like tonight I said mam I think you're confused Are you feeling alright? [bonus bridge] Her mood switched in an instant And asked me to take her home I had somewhere to be that night - - but How could I tell her no? [hook] [male voice] [hook melody whistling] [dark choir] oh whoa oh oh whoa oh whoa oh - oh, oh oh oh [bonus verse] [male voice] I asked where I should take her She said just north from here I made my way up the one oh nine as she whispered in my ear [quiet change] [female voice] [chilling] [haunting] [sexy] oh don't you remember? It was three years ago Right here on the 109 You swerved off the road [car crash sound effect] my car had broken down and me i was all alone It was only a couple of miles So i decided to walk home That's where i seen a bright light A fire up ahead - [change] [male voice] [quiet] [music muted] I said I don't remember this [loudly, emotionally] And she said cus' you're dead [musical break] [full band] [hard hitting drums] [emotional] [bonus hook] [male voice] [hook melody whistling] [dark choir] oh whoa oh oh whoa oh whoa oh - oh, oh oh oh (every year same place and time) (echoed through the ether the veil it unwinds) (oh she tries to help him to the other side) (the ghost of the one oh nine) [outro] [male voice] I’m the ghost of the one oh nine
