Pack up all those phantoms
Shoulder that invisible load
Keep on riding North and West

Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider


Carry all those phantoms
Through bitter wind and stormy skies
From the desert to the mountain

From the lowest low to the highest high
Like a ghost rider


Keep on riding North and West
Then circle South and East
Show me beauty but there is no peace

For the ghost rider

Shadows on the road behind

Shadows on the road ahead
Nothing can stop you now


There's a shadow on the road behind
There's a shadow on the road ahead
Nothing can stop you now


Sunrise in the mirror
Lightens that invisible load

Riding on a nameless quest
Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider


Just an escape artist
Racing against the night

A wandering hermit
Racing toward the light


From the white sands
To the canyon lands
To the redwood stands

To the barren lands

Sunrise on the road behind

Sunset on the road ahead
There's nothing to stop you now
Nothing can stop you now
