The Ghost Song is a song by The Doors, and was released on An American Prayer in 1978, 7 years after Jim Morrison's death in Paris, France. The song is Morrison's poetry recording with the rest of the band's music.
Part of the song "indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding" refers to a childhood experience, when Jim and his family were driving down a desert highway and passed 3 truckloads of indian workers. He says that, during that experience, the souls of the dead indian workers just leapt into his soul and stayed there until his death.
