about

Touring in Western Canada you spend a lot of time on the highway. I 'wrote' this one summer of 2012 driving North from Brandon MB.

lyrics

RIDING WITH THE GHOSTS (S H Palmer)
A prairie sky with a million stars
One for every mile on this old car
The night is cold, this road is long
But I’ll just keep on driving on
Like an old Hank Williams song
Down this lost Highway

I can see the Ghosts out on this highway
They talk to me as the miles go by
They’re not quite real
I know just how that feels
To be fading away on this road tonight

Louis Riel- had a story to tell
Him and my old man
Would’ve got on well
Poundmaker and the Buffalo
They belong to long ago
But for one moment more they’ll glow
Beneath a starry sky

CH: I can see the Ghosts out on this highway
They talk to me as the miles go by
They’re not quite real
I know just how they feel
To be fading away on this road tonight

Tag: Shades of you and me
And all the things that might have been
I can see the Ghosts on this road tonight
I’m Riding with Ghosts on this road tonight

‘There are miles in Palmer’s voice; you can almost see the scenery that his mind has captured through the decades of his life. Palmer’s songwriting and guitar playing are tasteful and bittersweet, his music is crafted with feeling and poetic flair. I’m reminded of another acoustic icon, Gordon Lightfoot.”- TwangTown Magazine ... more
