You are a shady ghost you better keep me in line
And I must thank you the most for being this good ghost of mine
Now I've been a liar, maybe you've been a thief
And maybe we've been so many things, but none without the grief
So tonight lets go dancing in some crosstown bar
With the smoke and a honky tonk band who don't know where to start
But you and I we'll stay here until everyone leaves
Soldiers in the night my friend we're born just thick as thieves
If this love could speak
Baby it would sing
We don't need no preacher
We don't need no ring
