Phantom of the Opry Lyrics by Daron Norwood

Daron Norwood

1994

[Verse 1: Daron Norwood]
Around midnight a shadow appears on center stage
And sings a haunting melody while a distant fiddle plays
Look closer, you can almost see a rhinestone shining in the dark
He's still a living legend, living right here in my heart
[Chorus: Daron Norwood and Travis Tritt, Daron Norwood]
He's the phantom of the Opry
A Grand Ole Spirit from the Ryman days
He just feels at home here
He don't really mean to haunt this place
And every time it rains in Nashville
They say the angels cry
'Cause the phantom of the Opry
Never got to say goodbye
[Verse 2: Travis Tritt, Daron Norwood]
Some say it's Hank or Lefty or that Kentucky Bluebird flying back again
No one knows for certain, but we all know it's more than just the wind
There's a ghostly sound of steel guitar crying in the night
Does it come from center stage or from somewhere on the other side
[Chorus: Daron Norwood and Travis Tritt, Daron Norwood, Travis Tritt]
He's the phantom of the Opry
A Grand Ole Spirit from the Ryman days
He just feels at home here
He don't really mean to haunt this place
Every time it rains in Nashville
They say the angels cry
'Cause the phantom of the Opry
Never got to say goodbye
[Outro: Daron Norwood]
Around midnight, a shadow appears on center stage
And sings a haunting melody while a distant fiddle plays
