Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The thing that makes me feel the most down

Is the feeling that I'm livin' in a ghost town

Barn door bangin' in my face

Like tumbleweed, I'm rollin' round this place

[Verse 2]

I see you arriving at the station

But it's only in my imagination

So I'm beggin' on my knees

Turn around, and save me, baby, please

[Verse 3]

From this ghost town

I feel like givin' in

Since you left, I'm livin' in

An old ghost town

[Verse 4]

Hey, kid, I remember all the laughter

Especially when we woke the morning after

Why did you have to go away

Leavin' me to wander every day?

[Verse 5]

In this ghost town

I feel like givin' in

Since you left, I'm livin' in

An old ghost town

[Verse 6]

We were born to ride side-by-side

We were always reachin' for the stars

And they can still be ours

If you free me

[Verse 7]

From this ghost town

I feel like givin' in

Since you left, I'm livin' in

An old ghost town

I feel like givin' in

Since you left, I'm livin' in

An old ghost town

[Verse 8]

I'm livin' in an old ghost town
