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
