Ghost Town Lyrics

Kentucky winters are the coldest I've seen

When the lights are off in the factory

If the roads are good, we'll all drive down to Tennessee

To find some work and some property

The kids will be fine, they can just change schools

They won't talk back cause they know the rules

Who needs roots when it's hard just to find food

It's a ghost town, I'm nobody's fool

The summers are alright

The springs are all still beautiful

When autumn comes, you can feel the people getting cold

And you wonder why a town like this would die

Just to live again

Kentucky winter brings a man to his knees

Cause a frost can kill when it's time to seed

My mother says I can catch on with industry

Or just skip town and join the army

To leave here there would prove the others right

And I don't turn my back without a fight

A man needs roots to show him wrong from right

It's a ghost town, I'll stay here tonight

Cause the summers are alright

The springs are all still beautiful

When autumn comes, you can feel the people getting cold

And you wonder why a town like this would die

Just to live again

Apparition rising up for all to see

Blinding vision of a town that used to be

Wind blows through me like it's got something to say

The spirit won't die, but it might just fade away

The summers are alright

The springs are beautiful

When autumn comes, you can feel the people getting cold

And you wonder why a town like this would die

Just to live again
