Callin’ me up from a deep sleep dreaming
Black cat keeps scratchin at my back door
Cold chills are runnin cross my shoulder
I’ve felt that ghost round here before
Somebody sittin in my kitchen
Nobody else home but me
I hear a voice keeps callin my name
Lord, Lord will they ever let me be
Paid my dues for the road I’ve taken
Done my time for the things
I’ve left behind
Contradictions clouding up my future
Wish that they would just let me see


How long will this thing keep haunting
How long must I keep on running
How long will this devil keep calling me
How long must my eyes keep burning
From the image of the world I’m leaving
How long will this devil keep calling me


Stones sittin right in my pathway
Take me down to the place
I don’t want to be
Lord my burden just gets so heavy
I wish I could take it and set it free
Tonight there’s a cold moon rising
Tonight that light is blinding


How long will this thing keep haunting
How long must I keep on running
How long will this devil keep calling me
How long will my eyes keep burning
From the image of the world I’m leaving
How long will this devil keep calling me
How long will this devil keep calling me
How long will this devil keep calling me
