There is a town of legend It's a mystery in fact Ain't no use in searching It's not on any map Some say it's out past Tucson Some say New Mexico Every man who claims he found it Points a different road They say the town is empty But nothing there is still Floorboards groan at midnight Doors unlatch at will Don't go out to find it And don't believe the road Some places keep the living Some places keep the soul They pass the final building They swear they've broken free They think the curse has lifted Like an answered plea But no matter where they travel The town is waiting there And every soul that left it Returns from everywhere The years lie dead around them The daylight never strays They leave before the morning And return before it fades Don't go out to find it And don't believe the road Some places keep the living Some places keep the soul The years wear down to nothing The days all look the same They leave beneath the morning And return the way they came Some run until they vanish Some never leave at all But every night the doorways fill With those who heard the call They leave the town behind them Then see it up ahead And every soul that tries to leave Comes circling back again Don't go out to find it And don't believe the road Some places keep the living Some places keep the soul Some places keep the living Some places keep the soul...
