Ghost town blues

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 once a man.
But inside's a little broken hearted boy,
Whose feelings he cannot stand.

CHORUS: 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
Blues... Yeah!

If 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.

REPEAT CHORUS:

My pontiac spit 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 and outlaw she ran for the hills,
And I'll start a brand new life with a new girl,
and these same old ghost town thrills.

REPEAT CHORUS:

I've got those ghost town blues. X4
