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 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 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 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 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
