It’s the story of a sort of Texas Romeo and Juliet but Juliet didn’t take the poison bc she’s not an idiot and so Romeo’s ghost just ambles around, scorned by the whole thing because he’s an idiot.

lyrics

You will still remember me
Because my ghost now dances free
Across the Chisos mtns high
And through those river canyons wide

I’ll always remember you
For all the things you would not do
For all the time you would not give
For my heart was your captive

It’s 40 years and some pocket change
Here in this lonesome mountain range
My mind drifts from stories strange
To pictures of your pretty face

When the sun dips down tonight
Constellations tell our plight
Star crossed lovers meant to die
You’re the one who stayed behind

Was I foolish to love
Was I careless to leave
Are these questions with answers
Or am I just a sound lost in the breeze

Was I foolish to love
Was I careless to leave
Are these questions with answers
Or am I just a sound lost in the breeze

Some call love some suicide
I told you we’d never die
You told all the bitter lies
I’m the ghost of the Chisos

Ain’t got long for the day is gone
The cold creeps in where it don’t belong
Folks gonna talk but they’ll carry on
I’m the ghost of the Chisos
