Were once now, lie tumbleweeds and dust
Well I'm beat up and I'm lost
My Pontiac spits back feelings of contempt
Whose feelings he cannot stand
And an empty graveyard feeling that began once
Leather overcoat of what was a man
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues
She stole my heart away from me
With nothing left to lose
A hundred miles an hour down a highway
Dressed in black but no one left for dead
Just as a childhood lust
With a new girl and those same old ghost town thrills
Out the exhaust
My outside's tough, hellbent
I feel like an undertaker
I've got those ghost town blues
And I'll start a brand new life
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues
But inside's a little broken hearted boy
And now there's no one left to sleep in my bed
I've got those ghost town blues
Like an outlaw she ran for the hills
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
And then she dropped it on the floor
Where laughs and cries and memories
With nothing left to lose
She's gone and I know it
She left me in a heartbeat
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
