16 Days Lyrics

I got sixteen days
One for every time I've gone away
One for every time I should have stayed
You should have worn my wedding ring
I got sixteen days
Fifteen of those are nights
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
Its way back to your side

The ghost has got me running
The ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

The ghost has got me running
The ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

I got sixteen days
Got a Bible and a rosary
God, I wish that you were close to me
Guess I owe you an apology

I got sixteen days
Fifteen of those are nights
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
Its way back to your side

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away...

Old tin cups, little paper dolls
All wrapped up, in ribbons, bowed with hearts
Old tin cups, and little paper dolls
All wrapped up, in the ribbons of your heart

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

Sixteen days
I got sixteen days
It's like before I hang

Whiskeytown was an alt-country band from Raleigh, North Carolina founded in 1994 and fronted by Ryan Adams along with violinist Caitlin Cary. The band produced a number of albums before ultimately parting ways in 2000.

Other members of the group included guitarists Mike Daly and Phil Wandscher, bassist Steve Grothmann and drummer Skillet Gilmore.

Adams and Cary have publicly talked of reuniting Whiskeytown on multiple occasions, as recently as 2005, but as of yet, nothing new has materialized. The two did perform together briefly, along with Skillet Gilmore, on June 8, 2005, in Raleigh.

Major recordings include:

Faithless Street (Mood Food, 1995) which was later reissued with additional tracks and a new mix.

Strangers Almanac (Outpost, 1997).

Pneumonia (Lost Highway, 2001) the band's swan song, which Adams labored over for two years before its release, by which time the group had split up.

The EP Rural Free Delivery (Mood Food, 1997) collects unreleased tracks from the early days and is apparently reviled by Adams.

Additionally, the band's music appears on various soundtracks and compilations. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
