109 5

Lyrics

Driving north through Ohio In the middle of nowhere A stranger there on the side of the road They were frightened, they was scared Without a thought I pulled over I had the room to spare To my surprise in the blink of an eye no one was there I looked in every direction There was not a soul in sight I wondered if I had fallen asleep On this rainy summer night By now my pulse was racing A chill ran down my spine I've never been one to believe in ghosts This might have changed my mind [hook] oh whoa oh oh whoa oh I made it back to my car And I opened the door Staring at me from the passenger seat The same stranger from before My body it was frozen As they looked in my eye Too in shock to be afraid So I just climbed inside They said don't you remember A night much like tonight I said I think you're confused Are you feeling alright? Their mood switched in an instant And asked me to take them home I had somewhere to be that night But how could I tell them no? [hook] oh whoa oh oh whoa oh I asked where I should take them They said just north from here I made my way up the one oh nine As they whispered in my ear Oh don't you remember? It was three years ago Right here on the 109 We swerved off the road Our car had broken down And we were all alone It was only a couple of miles So we decided to walk home That's where we seen a bright light A fire up ahead I said I don't remember this And they said - baby - thats because we’re both dead [bonus hook] oh whoa oh oh whoa oh [bridge] Every year same place and time Echoed through the ether the veil it unwinds Oh we try to find each other on the other side The ghosts of the one oh nine [outro] i’m the ghost of the one oh nine i’m the ghost of the one oh nine we are the ghost of the one oh nine [extended outro]
