Lyrics to Sammy Kershaw – Haunted Heart
Go down the road called Yesterday
Take a left on a Lost Highway
And make a right on Memory Lane
Drive until you feel the pain
And at the river of tears take one last turn
And cross the bridge that just won’t burn
A run down house is love’s graveyard
That’s where you’ll find my haunted heart
Well my haunted heart can’t rest in peace
It’s buried with her memory
And it’s a living hell here after dark
All alone with a haunted heart
Late at night a slamming door
Shadows move across the floor
Footsteps fall on silent stairs
I hear her call but no one’s there
Her photograph hangs by the bed
A grim reminder love is dead
A love I killed just won’t depart
It’s living in my haunted heart
Well my haunted heart can’t rest in peace
It’s buried with her memory
And it’s a living hell here after dark
All alone with a haunted heart
I said I’m all alone with a haunted heart
