Discover the story of the song > 16 Days – whiskeytown

The song is about a man who has been away from his partner for 16 days. He regrets leaving and not wearing his wedding ring. He can't sleep without her and feels haunted by her memory, so he turns to religion for comfort. The chorus repeats that a "ghost" is causing him to run away from his partner, and the song ends with him acknowledging that he only has 16 days left before he returns.
