[Verse] Been out of work for a couple of years Downing cans of Blue Ribbon beer Sittin by the river, watching the sunset Spanish moss hangin down The riverbank curves around And flows on down to the sea [Chorus} We all live in a ghost town. Where nothing new ever comes around. The only way up is to put yourself down. Who wants to live in a ghost town? [Verse] My daddy used to tell me how, he thought things would be different now, But they never changed at all. [Pre Chorus] Just like the river just keeps on flowing, our lives just keep on going, but its hard to leave when you’ve never left home before. [Chorus] We all live in a ghost town. Where nothing new comes around. The only way out is to let yourself down. That’s why we live in a ghost town. [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] The crickets are the loudest sound as I get up and wade on down, through the water flowing into the dark. I look at my reflection in the moonlight Maybe theres still a chance for me And the powerlines stretch out forever. [Chorus] We all live in a ghost town. Where nothing new comes around. The only way out is to let yourself down. That’s why we live in a ghost town. [Outro} Can't you see? Oh, Can't you see? What that woman, been doing to me.
