The Lyrics

I set sail across rough waters
So much of it will be a blur
Finding foreign lands in my soul
Will I even make it back whole

And the ghosts that will haunt this old body down
Will surely miss me when I'm gone
'Til then I might as well keep those old devils runnning
Keep those old devils running

Travel seems so bizarre
Friends say they like me from afar
Well it makes no difference what they say
Because leaving is easier than staying

And the ghosts that will haunt this old body down
Will surely miss me when I'm gone
'Til then I might as well keep those old devils runnning
Keep those old devils running

Well I find myself alone a lot
Just me and my old guitar
Words on a piece of scrap paper
And a life I've made too damn hard

Navigating my private hell
Captain of the heartbreak hotel
From calm islands in my calm mind
Across raging seas I drive blind

And the ghosts that will haunt this old body down
Will surely miss me when I'm gone
'Til then I might as well keep those old devils runnning
Keep those old devils running
