Ghost Town Blues

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Ever since my baby left me you

Know this ghost town ain't no

Fun no more she stole my heart

Away from me and then she

Dropped it on the floor my

Outside's tough, hellbent

Leather overcoat of what was

Once a man but inside's a little

Broken hearted boy whose

Feelings he cannot stand.

chorus:

I've got these ghost town blues

With nothing left to lose

The noose swings high up on the

Gallows in the wind

I've got these ghost town blues

I feel like an undertaker dressed

In black but no one left for dead

She left me in a heartbeat

And now there's no one left to

Sleep in my bed where laughs and

Cries and memories were once

Now lie and tumbleweeds and dust

And an empty graveyard

Feeling that began once just as a

Childhood lust

chorus:

I've got these ghost town blues

With nothing left to lose

The noose swings high up on the

Gallows in the wind

I've got these ghost town blues

My pontiac spit back feelings of

Contempt out the exhaust

A hundred miles an hour down a

Highway. Well I'm beat up and I'm

Lost she's gone and I know it,

Like an outlaw she ran for the

Hills and I'll start a brand new

Life with a new girl and these

Same old ghost town thrills.

chorus:

I've got these ghost town blues

With nothing left to lose

The noose swings high up on the

Gallows in the wind

I've got these ghost town blues.
