Richmond Fontaine - A Ghost I Became lyrics

The years blurred until I barely recognized my own face Years I spent trying the same way and living in the same place I started having dreams of the desert so real they haunted me Always sunny and never grey no noise just wind and sage I began taking vacation days and driving out as far as I could The people around me said I drew away that a ghost I became Down in Utah in the middle of the day I knew I could never go back At a New Mexico gas station a kid was talking to me I could hear what he said no words came from me Until he finally just walked away I'm heading farther, heading farther now, I'm heading farther out and away
