Bring That Ghoul Home
guitar solo
Girl, I've seen you leave good neighbors
With that trouble on your arm
Yeah, I seen you leave good neighbor And you
took it for charm
He was smiling like a sinner
Talking sweet and walking slow
You can make your own mistakes, child Just don't
bring that ghoul home
Don't bring that ghoul home I don't care how
good he talks
Don't bring that ghoul home I know trouble when
it walks
You can dance with him till sunrise
You can follow where he roams
But when the lights go out in good neighbor
Don't bring that fool home
He says he's got a pastor
Everybody's got one too He says nobody understands him
Honey, that ain't nothing new
I ain't judging what he looks like
That ain't what I'm telling you
It's the way he counts your bottle caps Before
he says he loves you
Don't bring that ghoul home Let him tell somebody
else
Don't bring that good home You got trouble to
nerve yourself
You can buy one more whiskey You can listen
while he moans But when that bar room starts
to empty Don't bring that good home
I'm not afraid to be alone
I've known handsome men with poison And ugly men
with gold
Looks don't tell you nothing Watch what a man
will hold
If he keeps one hand on your shoulder And
the other on your caps
You don't need no fortune teller To know how
that story ends
Don't bring that ghoul home Let him wander where
he will
Don't bring that ghoul home Some lessons cost too
much still
You can laugh with him till midnight You can
leave him with a song
But when you're headed back to Mirkwater
Girl, come home alone............
