That Old Haunted Place Songtext
The river's comin' into view
And now I see the bridges too
Oh Eileen was the only one who kept me
From livin' on the streets
You all turned your back on me
And now here I am again in the city

But I ain't goin' back
No, I ain't goin' back
It took every little bit
Every little bit
Every little bit to get free
Now you say Lily's sick
Irwin's fadin' fast
Carol's hocked everything
Emptied the savings account
But still the mortgage is defaultin'
That I owe you this and I owe you that
Puttin' shoes on my feet, clothes on my back
Fed me every day for 16 years and now I need to pay you back
I'm sittin' flush and you all know
So you say I need to give you what I've always owed

I ain't goin' back
No, I ain't goin' back
So why do I feel guilty
For wantin' to turn my back?
On that old haunted place
In Felony Flats
