Lyrics:

AdMy old dog misses me so
To the beach, to the dog park, he dont wanna go
He lies there, waiting at the foot of my bed
Because he knows Im right there, even though Im dead

Your late husband, that would be me
Ive been gone so long Im just a faint memory
Ive been disparaged in passing by your friends late at night
I blew out the candles all on, that served him right

The day that I died, I knew I was toast
Next thing I was hanging out with Marleys ghost
Hamlets father, hes a friend of mine
That old cane cant keep from crying

At my memorial service there was quite a turnout
Some stayed away, hey, what was that all about?
Tell me, didnt she love me, didnt he care?
Nobody saw me, but I was right there
(I was doing a head count)

Now Im out of the picture, yeah, Im off of the book
Just a chunk of time, that was all that it took
Was it a shot from a gun, a slip of a knife
I dont know what killed me, Lord, it might have been life

I had a few children, wrote a few songs
I got some of it right and a lot of it wrong
I bought a few houses, a few boats, a few cars
Being a ghost you might as well be on Mars
(Cause youre so far out)

Being a ghost, yeah, youre just in between
Each and every day of the years Halloween
Hanging around, but youre not really there
Youre hovering over your own old easy chair

Lord, I was hoping for heaven, yeah, that wouldve been swell
Cause being a ghost, ah, is like being in hell
Youre hungry and youre tired and you cant get no rest
And though Id settle for heaven, oblivion would be best

Ive been flying around, rattling chains
Appearing in mirrors just to make you insane
Making those noises in your house late at night
Yeah, I got to haunt you even though it aint right

My old dog, he misses me so
To the beach, to the dog park, he dont wanna go
He lies there, waiting at the foot of my bed
Because he knows Im right there, even though Im dead
