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 outsides are tough
Hellbent leather overcoat of what once was a man
But inside's a little broken hearted boy
Whose feelings he cannot stand
I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues
Mmm-hmmmm yeah
Verse two
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
I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues
Mmm-hmmmm yeah
instrumental
Verse three
My pontiac spits 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 those same old ghost town thrills
I've got those ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the gallows in the wind
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
I've got those ghost town blues
