The Ghost of Another Man

George Jones · I Am What I Am [1980]

(Roger Bowling - Frank Dycus - George Richey)



He's living in that big old house

That he knows was built by me

He's playing with the baby

That belongs to her and me.



At night he loves a woman

That was held by these two hands

It must be leaving hell to live

With a ghost of another man.



My name is in the side walk

Outside the patio

He can't help but see what's too dare in me?

Everywhere he goes.



He gladly walked through heaven

To forget what he can't stand

It must be leaving hell to live

With a ghost of another man.



Surely, I must haunt him

When they turn out the lights

I'm right there in the bedroom

With him and her each night.



And he wonders if he just loved her

Aw, as good as I loved her back then

It must be a livin' hell to live

With a ghost of another man.



It must be a livin' hell to live

With a ghost of another man...
