About This Song


Ya know, some things (many things) sound better when a woman says it I think! This one is about a young lady who is drinking to the memory of an old relationship. She's mad, I mean really hacked-off. As you'll hear, she goes off on somewhat of a fired-up verbal rant while she's throwing back a shot of the old liquid spirit and remembering his sorry spirit. But, she still can't put the love of her life out of her mind. It's a mental torment song and his name is Mr. I'mforgettin'him. So, she raises that glass saying, "Hey, here's to you for teaching me a good, hard-learned lesson in what I don't want next time!'. - Hope you enjoy and thanks again for listening!

Feedback Requested


Any and all greatly appreciated.

It sounds good;  a different angle of a drinkin song. If you post the lyrics, it’s easier to get feedback on any possible improvement. The pic up with it is funny. I like it.

Written by Shane Trepeaux

Keep talkin’ apparition all ya want, yeah.
Your name’s gone from old haunts, here.
I raise a glass boy, a glass of what’s left of me.
My sacrificial heart drip-droppin’ love’s destiny.
Thank you boy for chillin’ me to the bone.
Here’s to lessons learned and ghosts to toast.

I’m a silver bullet, that missed my one shot.
Your fun, dancin’ spirit’s screamin’ hot, hot, hot!
I pour another round for these walls to listen.
Shot down, ghostbustin’ Mr. I’mforgettin’him and,
Will this tat come back from the grave as a rose? Oh, who knows?
Here’s to lessons learned and ghosts to toast.

When the good’s goin’, goin’ ghostly gone.
Nights last forever. 3am stays ‘til dawn.
Your memory playin’ trick or treat in my head.
Your shackles and chains rattlin’ my bed.
I walk holes in the floor ‘til I’m spooked.
‘Til all we had that’s gone, now fadin’ too.
Your vision in my head’s tearin’ me apart.
This spirit’s gonna’ burn goin’ down, down.
Your phantom pain flirts for another round.
And I gotta’ ghost to toast.

Nah, I ain’t hatin’.
I ain’t playin’
But what don’t break me makes me’s what I’m sayin’.
Nah, I ain’t quittin’.
I ain’t grinnin’.
Guess havin’ had you’s ‘bout me forgivin’.

When the good’s goin’, goin’ ghostly gone.
Nights last forever. 3am stays til dawn.
Your memory playin’ trick or treat in my head.
Your shackles and chains rattlin’ my bed.
I walk holes in the floor ‘til I’m spooked.
‘Til all we had that’s gone now fadin’ too.
Your vision in my head’s tearin’ me apart.
This spirit’s gonna’ burn going down, down.
Your phantom pain flirts for another round.
And I gotta’ ghost to toast.

I gotta’ ghost to toast!!

Yeah, a ghost to toast.

Oh, ya know.

Well, he’s a ghost to toast.
