A Ghost to Most

I guess I'll never grow a sideburn
 It's a shame with all I've got to go between
 I hope somebody's cause takes soon
 It's getting hard to find a place a root can sink
 Mama said a lot of things
 And "Be thankful" was the one she never minded saying twice
 Thanks to her I can think clear enough
 To be thankful that she died before tonight
 Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping
 Like they're gonna come through my skin
 If they could get along without the rest of me
 It wouldn't matter if they did
 But skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money
 Nobody makes britches that size
 And besides, you're a ghost to most
 Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide
 ♪
 Saving everybody takes a man on a mission
 With a swagger that can set the world at ease
 Some believe it's God's own hand on the trigger
 And the other dumping water in the streets
 Talking tough's easy when it's other people's evil
 And you're judging what they do and don't believe
 It seems to me you'd have to have a hole in your own
 To point a finger at somebody else's sheet
 Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping
 Like they're gonna come through my skin
 If they could get along without the rest of me
 It wouldn't matter if they did
 Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money
 Nobody makes britches that size
 And besides, you're a ghost to most
 Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide

 I don't know how much good it does a man
 To keep on telling him how good it is he's free
 Free to wash his ghost down the drain
 And free for them to tell him there's no such a thing
 Baby, every bone in my body's gone to jumping
 Like they're gonna come through my skin
 If they could get along without the rest of me
 It wouldn't matter if they did
 Skeletons ain't got nowhere to stick their money
 Nobody makes britches that size
 And besides you're a ghost to most
 Before they notice that you ever had a hair or a hide
